diagnosed with LC by biopsy

Thank you so much everyone for all the good wishes.
As they say, "Time flies when you're having fun", and the years continue to roll by. It has been over 16 years since my symptoms became serious enough to force me to see a doctor. And during the first 10 or 15 years since then, not much medical progress appears to have been made.
I believe that more medical progress has been made during the last year or 2 than was made during the 15 preceding years. The progress I'm referring to is in understanding the disease. Before anyone can develop an effective treatment plan, they must understand the disease. Without understanding, progress is virtually impossible.
But with improved understanding, there is hope for progress in other ways. Gastroenterologists are finally beginning to recognize some of the details about the disease that they previously denied, but that we have known to be true all along. So the future looks much brighter for the medical treatment of MC.
Thanks again everyone. It will be interesting to see what the next year will bring.

I hope you had a very Happy Birthday, Tex, and I wish you the best of health for this coming year!!!
The last few months have been stressful for various reasons and I haven't been on the website in a very long time, but I am so glad I stopped by today. It's been nearly two years since I was diagnosed and I wouldn't be where I am now without all your patient advice and answers!
Thank you from the bottom of my ,
