Encouraging News
If all of you could have heard me a couple of days ago, you would have heard a voice filled with joy and hope. I heard of a woman who may well be the record holder for RIT - 13 years post treatment with no relapse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Last week, I thought 10 years was great, and now there is a 13-year survivor!!!!!!!!!!!
When I hear these long term survival stories, it is so encouraging. Imagine, 10 years or 13 years with no evidence of disease, no maintenance therapy, no nothing besides living normal lives!!!!! There is nothing I know of that could possibly have given these women back their lives other than RIT.
Because RIT is relatively new, we don't often meet others who have taken it. I would love to hear from anyone who has. Sharing success stories (without using names) is so encouraging to others.
