Hello, all! Twenty years ago, this forum was my home. I spent ten years carefully monitoring and responding. I made good friends and shared experiences, information, and emotions. I’m happy to stop in today—twenty years to the day from my orchiectomy—to say thank you. I’m so glad Mike saved this space from obsolescence. I wish each of you all the best!

Congratulations Scott. Wonderful to hear about your 20 years of survivorship mark. I will be hitting 17 years this month and you were certainly a mentor and led the way. Always glad we had he opportunity to meet at LIVESTRONG Summit 2008 and elsewhere in between. I was just up your way the past two summers and thought about dropping in but they were both short trips. Maybe this summer will work as it would be great to catch up.
Thanks for all you have done to help so many over the years as well. A true legend!!

Congrats on the 20 years Scott. I guess I'm around 13 since I finished off treatment for Forum Back then a new guy would have a half dozen guys with varying experience trying to help out. It feels like a ghost town now. I wish we could get more guys in here again, both newbs & survivors This place was a great resource for me back then, & that is why I stick around, in the hope I can help others. I keep my fingers crossed.
