If there already is a ping list that I missed, please advise in the comments section below.
I'm willing to compile the list of names, but I'd prefer to make the list available for everyone to use, rather than control it myself.
Thank you.
P.S. I may be away from the forum for a day, so I may not be able to check back until tomorrow night.
Add me!
Add me please. My wife survived 3b Cervical. Three years cured last March. :)
MD Anderson is hosting a presentation on advances in the treatment of prostate cancer on July 12, 2015. You can attend for free if you live in the area or watch it online. My wife and I will be there in person. Here is the link for the info:

If you have some type of other cancer, there are archived presentations that might be of interest. Even if you are not being treated at MD Anderson, there is lots of up-to-date info on cancer research and leading edge treatment at:
Please keep me on your list. Very helpful information.

Please add me. Thank you.
Please add me to the ping list.
Please add me to the list. My lovely wife had stage 1 breast cancer 6 years ago, and has been cancer free since. They found an enlarged lymph node, she just had a biopsy and the docs are investigating, they said chances are it may be nothing serious. Prayers to everyone dealing with cancer and Happy Thanksgiving to all!
I was born into a relative cancer-free family. Only one case in our recent history.
But I want all the information I can get. Who knows?

Please add me to the list.
I was diagnosed with lung cancer in December 2015. Had a right side lower lobectomy (no, it was not a lobotomy) in February; radiation on my left lung in April; chemo in June/July “just in case something’s still left”.
I had my PET and CT scans last week and I heard the most beautiful two words from my oncologist — “cancer free”. I’m going to be getting scans every three months from here on out. Hoping and praying for continuing negative results.
Please add me to your growing list. To paraphrase Donald Trump, this is the story folks.
Diagnosed with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia at age 52, just over ten years ago.
During that time I have had four separate Chemotherapy Schedules consisting of four to six “four day” treatments lasting three Months each.
My last Chemotherapy Schedule was in 2014. For the first time in ten years, my Oncologist declared me in Remission.
Of course there was a Caveat. The post Chemo Bone Marrow Biopsy found that I acquired a second Blood Cancer called MDS, Myelodysplastic Syndrome which can lead to Acute Leukemia. Must have been a BOGO Sale and nobody told me.
MDS is linked to the use of certain Chemotherapy Drugs, but the Doctors treating me have theorized that I may have always had it but the extensive CLL involvement in my Bone Marrow may have masked it all these years.
Last Year I got a severe Lung Infection lasting four Months. Apparently my Immune System took a vacation and I acquired Pneumonia, a Staph Infection and a few other icky things. After five different Antibiotic Treatments that accomplished almost nothing and a Lung Biopsy, I ended up receiving Plasma Infusion Therapy which seemed to do the trick.
That was the closest I’ve been to buying the Farm since the adventure began, but I’m still kicking.
Please add me. Thank you so very much for starting this.
