Yep, that's a month of hair and a week of beard growth. And the eyebrows are back! I'm thankful for two out of those three.
I'm a private guy by nature. Heck, my sense of humor is a textbook case of having developed as a shielding mechanism. But it feels silly now that I ever debated keeping quiet on my health situation.
I was already in the middle of treatment when I wrote that post. I remember hitting publish then flopping over onto the bed for a smooth 10 hour nap. The next time I loaded HIF, the comment count had skyrocketed into the hundreds and I was shocked. I actually didn't read them. I didn't even look at them. I was terrified there'd be a heavy dose of negativity (I mean, we're talking about anonymous Internet comments here!) and I was already having enough trouble smiling.
The worst period of all occurred a week later when a perfect storm of side effects culminated. For three straight days, my dog and I lied in bed staring at one another, trying to will the other into venturing out to find food. I finally mustered the energy to get out of bed, but the kitchen felt light years away, so I sat down in front of my computer and loaded the comments.
You punks had me crying within minutes.
And that was it. That was the lowest I ever got and everything from there was an improvement. It sounds corny, but knowing I had thousands of complete strangers out there rooting for me was encouraging in a way I'd never thought possible.
Suddenly I wasn't fighting this damn thing alone! I knew my family and friends had my back, but I never expected in a million years that people I'd never met would care as well. Every corner of the globe seemed to have a vested interest in vanquishing my tumors. I got emails from Canada, India, Ireland, Australia, Japan, and countless others. HIF doesn't even post freebies for those countries!
I wasn't able to reply to everyone individually, but I read and appreciated each and every comment and email.
And I'm thrilled to say that I'm now officially in remission.
I've said it before and I'm sure I'll say it again, but thank you. Y'all were phenomenal to me throughout this and knowing that I didn't have to post freebies every day was a giant load off my back for a few months. So, again, thank you for the kind words and thoughts and prayers and love and every ounce of goodwill channeled in my direction! It made a huge difference and I'll never forget it.
Now go find some turkey, enjoy the day with family and friends, and have a Happy Thanksgiving!
I know I'm starting to sound like a broken record, but thanks for all the warm wishes over the past few days. I took a break from working over the holiday, but my phone kept blowing up with comment notifications on Thanksgiving. Not only did they put me in a extra good mood, but they kept extended family from constantly asking “so when are you going to stop playing on the computer and get a ‘real' job?” Seriously, trying to explain how a website works to somebody who still thinks email technology is on par with time travel is never fun. So thank you!
So no Boost for you, eh? You are hilarious. Keep it up!
I totally pictured you as a chubby guy. Wow, so wrong. You crack wise like one, that’s for sure. Good job on your remission. Now, don’t ever get cancer again! BAD GOOB!
Happy New Year to YOU, Goob!

Fabulous to hear this!! Have a very Merry Christmas indeed!!
Glad to hear it! You’ll be glad to know that I am constantly bothering everyone I know with stuff I find on your website.

Keep committed to remission till they (the docs) that you have a complete omission of the C.
when you think about it, “remission” sound like a sequel to mission…which is fairly apropos – blessing to you this holiday season, infinity, and beyond!
Hooray Goob! So glad to hear you are in remission! I have been a follower of your site for a long time, and thanks to all your amazing hard work, these freebies helped us through tough times (unemployment etc.).

Glad to hear you’re in remission!!! Hope you stay in remission 4ever! Onwards 2 the rest of your life!
I am sooooooooo glad to hear that you beet the cancer. They say positive energy can help you feel better & you have a lot of that coming thru your computer. It’s nice to know that you can help someone you never meet with just a few kind words & thoughts. Thank you for sharing & for the update letting us know that your doing better. Hope 2012 brings you more health, happiness & HIF followers they you know what to do with. Stay strong & thanks for HIF =)
That is AWESOME, I was so hoping to hear some good news soon! The web is what you make of it, and I’m so happy to see that it’s bringing together us 512 and counting strangers to celebrate this happy day–here’s to many more healthy days and freebies to come!
yeah, yeah. Cancer, schmancer. WhatEVER.
;-P The interwebs CAN be a nice place once in a while!
So when’s the party?
Congrats on being in remission. Thanks for all you do .Keep on hanging in there.
Im so very glad to hear that you’re doing better, & kicking that cancers ass! Your awesome, not only have you provided sweet freebies but also made my day as well as many others Im sure, with your funny humor and silly jokes. Keep up the good work and don’t worry about catching every freebie, it’s not like the freebie mob has picked up the pitchforks…yet :p. But Seriously, Thumbs up to you.
Remission is an AWESOME word!!! Way to go!!! I’ve very happy to hear you’re doing better! I know how it is to lose your hair it SUCK! I had surgery last year and my long red hair started falling out. I tried everything, it’s coming back but still thin. That’s OK having less hair beat the heck out of being six feet under. I wish you and your Dog all the best. You CAN beat Cancer!!! All the best for you and your this Holiday Season 🙂
Such wonderful news!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!!!!!!! I have been wondering how you were doing. So glad that you are better 🙂 Thank you for your hard work on here. I love your site!!!
Congratulations on being in remission. Thanks for sharing the new hair style with us – you are really an inspiration to us all. Hope 2012 is your best year ever!
I was wondering how you were doing! Thank you for the update! So glad to hear that you are out of the woods and hope you never go back there again! You are awesome!!!
So glad to hear that!! I will keep you in my prayers and just know that although we may never meet face to face, you are my hero!!
So glad to hear you’re in remission! Thanks for the update, we’ve been wondering how you’re doing. Take care and God bless.
I am so happy for your news. I cant say I understand how scared & alone you truly felt. But, my honey had cancer twice, and my mom has been fighting a downhill battle for three years and she is only 47. So I will keep my prayers with you and thank you so much for all of your freebies you post. They had tremendously benefited my life. The economy is so tough right now.
Glad for your happy news, we were all pulling for you via this crazy internet! Stay strong we need your witt and humor in this world. (and I need free shampoo yet again..)
HOORAY! ((: hooray for cancer-free cells, hooray for beard, hooray for hair, hooray for eyebrows! <3 i knew you could beat that cancer! 🙂
Now THAT is the best Christmas present ever. Can’t get that under the tree or from Santa’s lap… although…. you can get lots of other things from Santa’s lap, but that’s a whole other story. Congratulations! 😀
Hi I hope you stay well. Fish oil might help too. Get well soon. Looking good. We all would miss you. Stay strong for us. Take good care.
So glad you’re in remission. 🙂 🙂
Awesome news and you look great 🙂
That is fantastic news! And probably the best way to be able to celebrate Thanksgiving! So very happy to hear it!
What a blessing and totally rooting for you!
I am very Happy for you and to hear that its in remission!! Hey man, I appreciate all that you do and have done but your health is definitely 1st! Once you grow the UniBrow, then we can discuss eyebrows!
Prayer is a amazing. I’m happy to hear about the remission. Keep it positive.
Max
Hi Goob! YOU ROCK! SERIOUSLY!
Congrats on your good news 🙂
I only discovered your website about two weeks ago cause I want free stuff and going back through some posts found what you have been going through…with an amazing amount of humor and an inspiring outlook! It’s great to hear how well you are doing and your eyebrows are very impressive. Best wishes!
Congrats on the happy news! And its just in time for the holidays! You got the best holiday present! Im very happy for you!
Congrats on this great news! I also was moved by the amount of support from people I barley or didn’t know when I went through something similar in my life; it is such a wonderful feeling. Keep doing what you are doing, all of my friends are always jealous to see my freebies in my purse and I tell them about the wonderful thing you have going on with HIF! 🙂
What a blessing to be in remission. So happy for you Goob!
I am so very glad to hear that you are in remission. I will keep a good thought that it stays that way – permanently! Hang in there. And know that even tho we may all be “virtual” friends here, your have tons of “virtual” good kharma coming your way!
Very happy you are back and on your feet. Not from cancer, but from another serious issue, I have been down where I thought i was done also. I don’t have my own website, but internet alone helped me, as I was just introduced to FB and it was great therapy to tell my story, and as you said have support, even if they weren’t there with me.
Remember, you are loved, for more than just your power to share freebies and save money. Even tho I use yoru site for both, you help me with my strength. I cannot work, therefore feel sometimes as I cant contribute to my family enough. I don’t earn money, BUT I was introduced to your site along with a few others by a very good friend. Couponing and freebies and saving money is not only my contribution to my family, but it is my therapy as well.
SO thank you for everything.
Wonderful to hear about the remission, but even so, never feel you HAVE to post, if you are down, or low on energy, or just plain feeling blah–take a day off. People understand. You have a life, and sometimes it steers you away for awhile, whose life doesn’t do that to them?
Smiles to you! and THANKS AGAIN!
I am so happy you are feeling a little better, I totally know what you are going through, just hang in there things will be just fine, you have a great attitude about it!
Congratulations, Goob! It’s always a blessing to hear when someone has beat it. Knowing it is possible makes it bearable for others.
That is great news! So happy to hear it!
CONGRATS!!!! Beat the hell out of that cancer! Great job! What an early Christmas present!!!
I have been thinking and praying for you. I am so happy to hear that you are better. You are in God’s hands! Thank you for the update!
Remission looks good on you!!!
Hooray!!!!
Hey Goob, I’m an occasional visitor to the site and somehow must have missed the original post (which I read today) about your health. It’s so amazing to hear you are in remission and that the power of knowing you aren’t alone can have such an impact on one’s perspective. I don’t know you and am another stranger passing through but I wish you the best and many happy years to come. Its also a peaceful feeling for me to know that there are so many kind and compassionate people left out there that will stand by a complete stranger and be there for support so I stand along with them and support you and your triumphs in overcoming your cancer = ) Hope you have a WONDERFUL Holiday season and many more………..
Im sooo happy to hear that , made me a little teary (: .
Thats AWESOME!!!!!
Everything happens for a reason…Prayers help the most!!!
Glad to hear youre in good spirits and no better time for it….Happy Holidays 😉
totally cool! Love those eyebrows. Congratulations on the remission. Everyone needs a support group and we are yours.
Happy Holidays!
What an awesome holiday tiding! Congrats! You’ll always be in our prayers, we appreciate everything you do for us. Take care!
So Happy to hear about your update! The power of positive thinking!
With all the enjoyment you bring us, with your witty posts- it is the least we can do. Here’s to a great year ahead!
That is FANTASTIC!!!! Now you had ME crying…seriously, it doesn’t take much. I cry at that Folgers commercial where the brother comes home and the sister sticks a bow on him and says “you’re my Christmas present this year.”
I guess when people read something as opposed to just hearing it, it somehow resonates with us. Reading the words that someone took the time to write and the confession of cancer touched us all. Honestly, shouldn’t we be that way everyday, anyway?? I will continue to pray for you and as Becca stated (#468), hope your 2012 is HEALTHY and prosperous!
fantastic! have prayed for you now and again – really glad to know you are kicking this thing!
It is weird to feel connected to anonymous people you don’t know, but when I first read your post about your cancer treatment, I was surprised at how much I cared! Even though I only know you from your lame jokes on the random freebies, I was still worried and hoped and wished you the best. I am so glad to hear that you are in remission. I’m sure it has been a long and tortuous journey, the depths of which I hope to never experience, but I am glad that you shared some of it with us, your hiffers. Hoping 2012 is healthy and prosperous for you!
Congratulations! I’m thrilled to hear the good news. You’ll continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.
From one survivor to another:
What an incredible roller coaster of emotions having cancer is. So happy to hear that you’re in remission and hoping it stays that way 🙂
Great news! Need some right about now. You look great and happy to hear you are in remission.
Fantastic! So happy to hear that! 🙂
So happy for you!
I’m loving the new hair Goob and thankful for your remission! God bless!
Praying for you!
Great news!
What wonderful news!Praise Him for helping you. Best of 2012 to u!
Congrats Goob! That is fantastic news.
Your post just made my day! All the best on the road to recovery – and thank you for your blog – I read it daily and recommend it to friends.
Such wonderful news!!!!!! I’m so glad to hear you are doing well and in remission! Praise God! We’ve all been worried about you and praying for you. Take care!
YAY!!!! I am sooooo excited for you and yours. I enjoy this website more than any of the other ‘freebie’ blogs!! In fact, I only go to 3 bloggin websites that deal with living life on the cheap. And you my friend…are by far…the most random, intelligent and open minded. I think your pretty freaking awesome!!!!
August 31 my heart stopped in my sleep. I am 30 years old. No cardiac history, no medications. I don’t smoke or drink. I run 5miles 3x a week. Healthy, happy mom of 2. I just died. I was lucky to have someone beside me who was awake, and knew what to do. Call 911, CPR. I am here today. Like you I know what it is like to stare death in the face. I spent 9 days in CCU, I have a pacemaker/defibrillator since no one can figure out why I died. I now live each and every day like it may be my last. After reading your story I am glad to know there are other people cheating death too. I may not have been cursed with cancer, but I feel we are in the same club. Tomorrow you will be here to post and I will be here to read. XOXO
I knew that all our preyers would work!!!! This is great news Goob hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving. And i will keep saying those preayers for you. Your the best Goob!!!
We all love you.
Debbie
Congratulations on being in remission. I wish you continued success in your treatment. Here’s wishing you a HEALTHY and happy holiday season, surrounded by family and friends.
Excellent news!! Definitely brought a smile to my face. You will be fine with your great attitude and sense of humor! Congrats and best wishes!
Congrats on the good news! I recently shared the link to the Birthday Freebie list in my local newspaper, so you might get a hundred or more new HIFfers. Thanks for everything you do. Good luck, Goob. 😀
Thank you for sharing your progress. You have more fans than you know and not everyone will comment. I am not one to reply to most things but I want you to know that the power of prayer is a powerful tool.
May you be blessed with good health and many friends. Stay strong and be happy.
Thank you for all you do.
So very, very good to hear. Keep your spirits where they’re at and your health will follow along! Thanks for the HIF’s, but more importantly, thanks for sharing yourself with the rest of us.
Good News, Goob!!
Glad everything is going good for you. Happy Holidays!
It’s great to hear you are on the road to recovery. I only discovered your website a short time ago and have put you at the top of my favorites and check it everyday. Have a great Holiday Season and stay well…the world needs all the folks like you it can get!!!! 🙂

What awesome news! We are not strangers on this site – we are all on a few common missions in life: check out HIF to see what cute posts Goob has to offer, see what offers Goob has run across, and pray and wait for the day we get the ‘I.m in remission’ post’. I am sooooooooooooo happy for you dear friend. It has been a hard long road but all of your followers are with you. We love you and pray for you. Keep up the good work.

Congrats!!!
Oh I am SOOOO happy to hear this! You are such an amazing person and so strong and inteligent, I am estatic that you are getting better. Goob, you inspire me! Thank you for absolutely everything.
you are……… AWESOME! 😀
Oh Goob! This is fantastic news. I kept telling my friends today about “this guy, he has this website and i get free stuff, and he’s in remission, well no i don’t actually know him, but-” 🙂 I’m just so happy! Please keep us, your HIF family, informed of your amazing progress. In a world where we are inundated with trivial facts about people’s lives, you are an exception. Love always-
I’m so happy for you!!
CONGRATULATIONS GOOB!!!!! So happy to hear that most wonderful word remission. I lost my father to lung cancer two years ago, and it is a most wonderful thing to hear that you have won in beating cancer. Three cheers to you and continued good health. May God continue to bless you with good health.
so happy to hear this!! a happy belated thanksgiving to you!
I am so glad you are doing well! Your spirit and humor are so inspiring. Thank you for your wonderful website and I hope you had a spectacular Thanksgiving!
My family and I are glad that you are getting better. We should all be thankful for each day that we can wake up and breathe. Take care of yourself!!!

Folks from KS 🙂
Wonderful news that you are in remission! Thank you for updating us.
Have a terrific and blessed holiday season.
Hi Goob! It’s fantastic that you are in remission! I was saddened when you first shared your story with us, and you have been in my thoughts and prayers ever since (in a non-stalkeresque way, of course). Please take care of yourself, and hope you and your family enjoy the happiest of holidays.
This is wonderful news, thank God for his healing and blessing you.
That’s such amazing news!!!!! So happy for you dude!
Woo Hoo! Glad to hear such great news.
That is wonderful that you are in remission. God is great and you have a great thanksgiving.

SO thank YOU for always sharing your thoughts, freebies, & sarcasm with us… and everything else 🙂 You’ve got some really crazy-amazing wit & humor paired with nice writing skills (I must confess this post both made me teary-eyed & laugh). Well, thanks again & Happy Holidays! Take care; I’ll keep you in my thoughts & prayers.
P.S. I wonder what emoticon thing I’ll get…it’s hilarious when someone’s comment totally DOESNT match the polygon next to it XD
So happy about your health. Thrive every day and thanks for everything you do for us.
I can’t say anything different than anyone else has–just adding my 2 cents to the crowd to say congrats at the good new and thanks for sharing with us all. You have a lot of people on your side! Stay well!

Im am glad to hear that you made it through yours and I am looking forward to many more years of reading your blog. And thank you for all that you do so that we can get a few freebies everyday!! 🙂

But seriously, that’s awesome news! I know we’re all so glad to hear that. I’m sure my brother hasn’t read this yet, I’m gonna send this to him right now!
That is wonderful news! Hope you had a great Thanksgiving!
Great and wonderful news Goob! Been prayin’ for you! We are with you,whether we ever all meet or not. You never know if the person you smile and nod hello to just might be us! Keep smiling friend and we will keep praying you stay healthy!
That’s the greatest news ever! A positive outlook is one of a person’s best defenses aginst illness! You’re lookin’ good, keep it up.

OMG Goob! I got up this morning to go to work and saw this post and it’s made my day! 😀 I am so happy that you are feeling better and you’re out of the woods.
I was sad when I read your first post about having cancer not just because of the news but because you had clearly been dealing with it for awhile already. No one should have to carry that burden on their own; we may be people on the internet you’ll never meet, but we *are* people, and we want to help you when you are going through tough times. We all have them, but I hope yours is now over for good. 🙂
Praising God for His healing touch!
Thanks so much for the update!
God bless you! Yes people really do care!
Hey YOU Look GREAT! I will continue to pray for you. May God Bless You!
I’m so happy for your good news. Thank you for all you do for us, and have a joyful holiday Season.
Hello beautiful boy – your fabulous news makes me smile, makes all of us smile. You are one courageous dude. Finding solace in a group of strangers is a unique phenomenon.

Congratulations!! So glad to hear you are in remission, what a great word, right? We all have something to be grateful for this year, and some of us have more than others. You’re positive attitude is an inspiration to all of us who have ever had to face a health crisis. Keep it up! 🙂

Well first off thanks for sharing your story 🙂 I know how hard it is to reach out when all you want to do is just lay in bed and be left alone.
Also thanks for the Freebies 🙂 I hope you’ll be sharing them with us for years to come 🙂
Sending healthy vibes for continued great health and remission! Best wishes!
Thanks for a great site!

Great News–what a wonderful post for “Thanksgiving” I enjoy reading (and giggling) at your posts as much as I love getting free stuff. I have been told of some other websites to check out, but yours is just too entertaining. It is part of my daily routine-I look forward to checking my inbox for my daily e-mail.
Congrats…thought about you often and wished you you would be telling us soon “I am in remission”.
Hope you enjoyed your Turkey Day…
Thanks for all you do for us.
We all love you Goob congratulations on the fantastic remission
Really happy for you. 🙂 Thanks for the time and effort you put into this site. (and for calling that rude person a c*&#. Even if you did delete it, I enjoyed it and she deserved it.)
Excellent!!!!! Happy Thanksgiving!
Hey Goob, that’s great news! So happy for you. Thanks for sharing your story and for all the cool freebies. (and make sure that hair doesn’t start growing our your ears or nose!)
Thanks for giving ALL of us another reason to be thankful today, wishing you lots of love and happiness for the rest of your life (a rewarding long life). You deserve every well wish you’ve gotten, you make ALL of us smile everyday, THANK YOU!
Congratulations and Happy Thanksgiving! May U continue to have good health.
That is wonderful to hear!
I hope you noticed the link to download a free pdf file of a book I sent last time. If not, here it is:

That organization’s website (CancerProject.org) also has a good resource list with other free downloadable info:

Great news! Great facial hair (and eyebrows!) Thanks for sharing with us, and Happy Thanksgiving.
Goob,
You make me laugh. You make me cry. You are one of a kind. I am so happy to hear you are in remission.
This is my first Thanksgiving without my son. He left last week for basic training. I was so sad today and thinking only about myself, about how lost and lonely I feel. Then I read your post and realized there is so much I have to be thankful for. Thank you for that.
I wasn’t going to go to this site today being a holiday, but something kept telling me to check any way..What an amazing surprise and something to be thankful for…I will still keep you in my prayers and way to go on being stronger than cancer…
That’s wonderful!
Awesome!!!! Thanks for sharing! What a great thing to be thankful for this thanksgiving!
Awesome news!!!! You’ve been in my prayers as well & I’m so glad to hear that the R word applies to you!!! (No, not that R word…. um, the other one….)
Had no idea you were such a handsome fella. Congrats on the remission!
So very glad you shared your good news with us. You’ve been in my prayers. Maybe it seems kind of dorky to pray for someone I don’t know, but I’ve appreciated your humor at times when I was down, so I was glad to be able to do something for you. Hope you had an awesome Thanksgiving!
Yippee. Prayers were answered. Congratulations!
Good news, glad to see that you are doing better. 🙂
Now that is truly something to be thankful for! Congratulations! I’m really glad to hear that! 🙂
G-d bless you and keep you healthy!

Love ya Goob! <3
Just wanted to share how you've help me:
I moved from the US to southern Europe exactly a year ago. To make a long story short, I was near destitute, living with other people, no job, no car, no home of my own, my mom sending me her last 20 bucks every other week or so. Since then I got a job and things have improved greatly. Having these freebies not only helped me save money (I have more 3 ounce bottles of body wash than I know what to do with!) but they gave me a little something to look forward too, as lame as that sounds. I had my mom send them to me when a bunch started piling up.
Sooooooo…thank you Goob. We're all with you.
What a coincidence. Me and my buddies watched 50/50 last night, a cancer survival story. Way to go GOOB!!!
Great news! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and thanks for all you’ve given us!
friends.
Yahoo! Remission is a beautiful word!
Great News, Goob! Wishing you all the best & thank you for all you do for us.
Love your humor too!
Hey your cute and happy to read about your remission.
Congratulations! 🙂 I dont really post much on the comments, but this post really excited me! I pray for your well being and continued enjoyment in remission! 🙂
lookin’ good!! awesome new on your remission… and i’m glad you realized that we were never alone in your experience. sometimes complete strangers are one of the strongest supports. 🙂
I really enjoyed reading this post. I just recently started getting the newsletter and I didn’t know about your cancer, so it was a pleasant surprise to read that today you are in remission. When I was in high school, my mom was diagnosed with cancer and I struggled to talk about it because I am also a very private person. I am now in college and I still don’t find it easy to talk about, but it is amazing how talking about it and knowing you have people who love and support you helps so much. My mom is also in remission and I am so thankful. I admire your strength and pray for continued healing. Thanks for sharing, it is definitely a happy Thanksgiving!
Thank God! Prayer works!!!
Congrats on your remission! Truly something to be thankful for!
So glad to hear the good news!!! Happy Thanksgiving 🙂
Woot! Woot!
That’s the best Thanksgiving news ever! Hang in there and stay strong! 🙂
Hey Goob – had no idea you were going through so much while being so flippin funny helping us find deals! Be strong! You rock!
That is awesome news!!! Happy thanksgiving!!
Well now we’re even. You had me crying. So happy for you!
Thanks for sharing your great news! This makes a great Thanksgiving!
You have THE BEST sense of humor out there-I sometimes read Hey It’s Free just for your comments, rather than the goodies!
That is the best Thanksgiving news I have heard all day !!! Have a great holiday !!! 🙂
You truly do have something to be greatful about!
That’s amazing!!! Congratulations and happy thanksgiving!
What wonderful news! Congratulations on your remission. I pray that it never returns. I want you to know how much I love HIF. It is the first site I look at every morning. I consider myself a highly skilled freebie finder and your site is by far the best one out there! Happy Thanksgiving.

I woke up this Thanksgiving and, as usual, took a few minutes to wish good blessings on those I knew might not be having a great day today–Goob, you were on my list–so I am now just saying WOW, this is so great, I am SO THANKFUL! To whoever is running the Big Show, Thank you thank you thank you for this great news!
Thanks be to God for your good news. Keep the faith.

Remission is such a beautiful word when you get to use it on yourself! Congratulations! Fingers and toes crossed that your healing continues and the memory of your 3-day lie-in becomes so distant you aren’t really sure if it happened. 🙂
May you continue to be blessed!
Happy Thanksgiving!

Keep resting, keep being kind to yourself and live life! And don’t lose that sense of humor. That’s the healthiest thing anyone can have-the ability to laugh.
Prayers for continued success and health!

I am so happy that you are in remission!! That actually just made my thanksgiving better. It’s because of you that I smile everyday, due to your sense of humor for HIF. I thank you for that. You look great already! I am also dealing with an illness but mine is unfortunately not curable and has only a slight chance of going into a “remission” type state so you help to keep me upbeat for a while and of course, the freebies don’t hurt either 🙂 As soon as I see a new post, first thing I do is look to see who is the publisher and if I see GOOB then I read on but if it’s Adam (no offense) I skip to the freebie. Lol It’s just not the same unless I’m reading from Goob!!! Well enjoy your TurkeyDay and rest of the weekend and please know that we are clearly all rooting for you and it has paid off. Well done Goob. Congrats to you 🙂
Hooray! When You feel 100% and somehow end up in Oregon, you’ve got a couch to stay on! I’m so happy you’re sporting the big “R”. Woot!
You know what is better then saying thank you? Giving us cash 🙂 I’ll take mine in fives.
Glad to hear it, makes this thanksgiving that much better
good for you man, nice to hear your doing better, have a happy thanksgiving
This brought a big smile to my face in time to go see my family. Glad you are in remission, you do so much for others with this site, it’s nice to hear you getting something for yourself too. Happy Thanksgiving!

From one stranger to another, I’m so happy to hear that you’re in remission and I’m glad that you decided to share your personal journey. Strangers or not, we’re all in this thing together and it’s nice to know that we’ve got each other’s backs! Have a blessed Thanksgiving and many more years of health!!!
P.S. I’m thankful for your wicked awesome sense of humor. I can’t count the times that you’ve made me laugh because of your posts!
Congratulations!! That’s amazing news!! So glad to hear it 🙂
Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving
What great news! I’m so happy for you and I’m so glad you shared your good news with us. It truly is a Happy Thanksgiving. 🙂
What a wonderful Thanksgiving post. I am so happy to hear of your wonderful news! I have a friend who just had to have surgery for skin cancer (lymph node removal plus a good chunk of skin/muscle), and he wasn’t telling people either. I was the only one he told besides his wife. He just got word from his doctor a few days ago that he is now cancer free. Now he has started telling everyone what happened, and he is saying the same thing you did…”What took me so long to talk about it when everyone is being so wonderful and supportive?” I learned two days ago that my MIL now has breast cancer, and hopefully she can go into remission at some point as well. Cancer is such a terrible disease! Wishing you all the best. 🙂
We all love you, have a great day and God bless you. Thanks for what you do everyday for us.
All the best to you. Always gets worse before it gets better so I am glad u turned the corner. GOBBLE!
Soooo happy to hear your news! I doubt if the thoughts never stoped from all of us, very happy to see that on the dark days you looked in to see all your prayers, wishes and bessings and you kicked cancers ass. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family this year!

Yours posts make me laugh all the time and giving free things in the mail always gives me some excitement.
Congrats on being in remission. Glad to hear you are feeling better now.
Very happy that you are in remission and I pray it never raises it’s ugly head again. Sometime we don’t realize how loved we are until we share our lives with all that know us. God bless you and when you give thanks before your meal remember to thank Him for a new lease on life.
That is something to be TRULY Thankful for. . . Have a great Thanksgiving!
