beautiful day


OH MY GOD!

I just got off the phone with Anne. Kris got the results of her biopsy just now . . . and IT CAME BACK CANCER-FREE!! The chemo and radiation have done their thing, and she's safe for at least two years!

I feel like I'm going to cry. I saw Kris this morning at Anne's salon, and I thought she looked healthier and better than I expected. We talked about the support WWdN readers have given her, and how much your love, prayers, mojo, tantric healing waves, and crazy voodoo monkey magic have helped her at this time.

You guys . . .

I just don't know how to express how joyous and grateful I feel right now.

Anne will write more details later on.

ROCK. \m/

*does celebratory cancer-free dance*

i knew today was a glorious day.

Sweet! Im so glad that its gone!

Yay for Kris!!!

That is amazing. If that doesn't make you want to walk a marathon, I don't know what will. Kris kicked cancer's ass! Woohoo!

That is *SUCH* good news to hear; I can't put it into words.....

Alright Kris. I am so very glad to hear that. Cheers to Kris.

Wow that's great.

I wish everyone could be as lucky as Kris.

Congrats Kris

YAY!!! That's one less hurdle to work on. Thanks for sharing the great news, Wil! Give Kris a great, big hug for us! :^) (Who cares if I look stupid doing the happy happy dance in my corner of the office.)

W00000000000000t!

Yeah for Kris!!!

that is FANTASTIC! go you, Kris!

That is whack (in a good way). Wiggedy whack, not just regular type.

The cancer has been RADIATION'D & CHEMO'D!

:o)

PRAISE THE LORD!! We went through this with my littlest sister the last few years, and getting that "cancer free" report is the most beautiful gift when it comes. Congrats to her and may she continue to thrive and survive.

Woooooooo!

*happy, cheery, grinning kitty dance*

Halleluja!!! Someone up there is listening. Ask and you shall receive. And as John Wayne would say, "I licked the Big C."

Freeman :)

That is really great news!!! I'm so happy for Kris!

hey wil!

that is such great news! HOORAY!!! i am SOOOO happy for Kris, and everyone else!! YEY!!! Happy dance!!!

please pass on a Huge congratulations from that Derby, UK crew who have been thinking of her!

take care
rach

And with your wonderful support and friendship, Wil and Anne, I'm sure it made her healing process all that much faster. My best wishes to Kris! And a special thanks to Wil and Anne. If only everyone could be blessed with that kind of love and support!

I'm trying to think... What news could be cooler than this? Hmmm...

Oh wait! NO NEWS could be cooler than this! Right on! Way to go, Kris!

\:D/

That's fucking awesome! Give her a big hug from all of us next time you see her.

The saving grace of human beings everywhere is our ability to feel joy and sadness on behalf of people we have never met.

I am so very happy for Kris and I am so very sad for those that did not get such great news today. Perhaps they will tomorrow.

WOO HOO!!!

That's great news! :D

*Happy Snoopy Dance*

"Happy Dances All Around!!!"

CONGRATS TO KRIS!!!

Hey Wil, you and Anne need to give yourselves a big hug too. My best friend (also named Kris...go fig) had a major bout with cancer about a year ago and I know how difficult it can be for friends and loved ones as well. It takes a strength of character alot of people don't realise. Aww, heck, HUGS ALL AROUND!!!!

Jonathan

Wow. I don't even know this person (besides the glimpses that Wil and Anne have graced us with), and I am perfectly thrilled. That is wonderful.

*joins in the group happy dance*

I'll tell the crazy voodoo monkeys you said thanks.

Rock on!

ROCK!!! Congrats!!!

My wife is a 14 year survivor of breast cancer, so I know how you feel!

O Frabjous Day! Callooh Callay!

I'd already had a pretty cool day today, but that has made it even better. Its good to hear that Kris is getting better. Glad to here all the posative mojo/crazy voodoo monkey magic from this site worked :p. I'm sure I speek for everyone here, when I ask you to pass on our congratulations and regards to kris.

Congrats to Will and Kris! That's great news...and even though I don't know either one of you personally - and most likely never will - I'm happy for you. :)

Wow thats such great news :) it just goes to show you love even from strangers is huge ... *hugz* for kris and *high 5* for wil & anne for their support ... if only we all had our own Wil/Anne to help us out

I am SO happy for Kris and all of you! I recently helped my mother through a cancer battle and it's so wonderful to get those results back...

Woah! RAWK!

I was kind of in a funky mood today -- and to hear this kind of good news, my own attitude just did an abrupt turn around -- well, it just goes to show the more good mo-jo you spread around, the more it comes back at ya. Yeah for Kris!

w00t!

That's great.

Hooray!!!

hey wil! im so happy for kris! thats awesome!

Thats is so cool. Good news like that is so great to hear. You and the people around you are having a hell of a week Wil.

That is friggin' FANTASTIC!! Always good to hear someone's given cancer the boot.

HELL YEAH! I *knew* she could do it. With friends like y'all and a will as strong as she seems to have, there was no doubt in my mind that she could.

Kick ass, man, kick ass.

reading that made me so happy! i am so glad the results were good! i still send luck and much love :-)

I have nothing to say, except:

\m/

Rock on! Mojo will continue to flow as the post-cancer journey commences! Anne and Wil, you guys are awesome. Without you, we wouldn't have a mojo funnel directly to Kris. You guys rule \m/ ^,^ \m/

WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOO!!!!! Go Kris!

Thank you so much for that update, Wil!

Congratulations, dude!

a little late to join the group dance?
never to late to celebrate!!

woo hoo kris! fantastic!!

That is so awesome. Congrats to Kris for beating it and for having great friends like you and Anne. And congrats to WWdN readers for sending awesome mojo!

Hey G'd bless her. I lost my boyfriend of 4 years to cancer earlier this year, and what an ordeal it is to have a loved one going through all that pain. I'm so glad she is cancer-free, such GREAT news on such a beautiful day as this was, shining sun, a light breeze, what more could you ask for? Have a great one.

*smile*

This is indeed fantastic news! I just beat ovarian cancer, caught in the very early stages. I can imagine how everyone feels.

Still smiling!

Wil,
It is great to see good news. Most people seem to be starving for the privilege of good news.

FG

It is truly marvelous that your friend Kris is doing so well and has gotten a clean report. I hope the best for the years to come for her.

I woke up today, looked outside and said it was a gorgous day, then I saw todays website and its title couldn't have spoken any more the truth.

Most. Awesome. News. Ever.

That's wonderful Wil.

Continued Mojo for her future health.

Wooohooo!!! Congrats Kris!!!

Odile

Congrats! Sounds like she has at least two wonderful friends that have helped her through this...Priceless =)

Beautiful. This is one of those feelings of positivity that just can't be explained. If it makes any sense, it makes me happy to be happy for you. Now go take a breather.

Thats so awesome, I am amazed by the miracles that occur everyday. Glad all is well and Kris is in the clear. I will continue to pray for her ongoing recovery and continued strength for Anne and you.

Yahoo! Finally some happy news today! Way to go Kris!!

Oh thank God! That's wonderful news! Congrats to Kris, and best wishes to you guys on your fundraising walk!!!

That's so wonderful! Life can be so sweet.

Fabulous! Wonderful! I knew that monkey vodou magic was the right thing to try ...

What wonderful news! Congrats to Kris, Anne and Wil!

There is no day as good as the day the doctor walks in and says "The test came back cancer free." Many hugs to Kris and to Wil and Anne. I'm very happy!! The road is still long... but so much easier.

and thank you for these posts... I remembered I needed to make my son's oncologist appointment. *SIGH*

That is FANTASTIC. I am so happy for you, for Anne, and especially for Kris! You're right, it is a BEAUTIFUL day.

Kris kicked cancers ASS? Congrats!!!

Way to go Kris. I am very happy to know that you are going to be cancer free. Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy!

<monty burns>Eeeexcellent</monty burns>

YAY! i am so happy for her =) i actually have thought of kris a few times recently while visiting my uncle at the city of hope. i'm glad to hear that she's doing so much better. she's lucky to have friends like you guys!

Best. News. Ever.

Yeedillyheehaw!!!! *raises Guinness in Kris' honor* F-in' AWESOME! God, when things kick ass like this... I could just cry.

*hugs the world*

-Missy

Friday morning... cup of coffee... Sun... Kris cancer free.


best morning evar!!!!

AWESOME! Just bloody brilliant. So happy to hear that Kris is cancer free. I'm still sending a ton of Canadian mojo to Kris, her family, and friends. Cheers!! :) Damn that's cool...cancer free. Very nice.

Wow, I am overjoyed - congratulations on winning this battle with the big C. Time to celebrate!

That is fantastic news. :)

Awesome man, I remember the day that my sister in-law got her results and they were clear, what a feeling :)

Splendid news.

I'm doing the things a happy geek does.

Great news.

YAY!!! We knew you could kick the cancer Kris! I'm so happy!

That's excellent news Wil! Kris was very lucky! I lost both a co-worker and an uncle to cancer and my paternal aunt is currently undergoing chemotherapy as we speak. But she's a fighter and she'll pull through!

Kris deserves mad kudos for her strenght!

Who else feels all warm and fuzzy about this?!
Although I don't know her personally, Kris' news has just brightened up my really crappy day...
'I got that joy, joy, joy, joy, down in my heart (where!) down in my heart (where!) down in my heart...

Woo.
Excellent news!

that is the best news i heard in a long time, i'm so happy!

*leaps for joy*

love and hugs and big kisses to Wil, anne and kris!

Andrea xx

Wow, that is fantastic news, i am truly thrilled for Kris and all you guys!
I hope all you guys can all send my Grandad some of that amazing mojo as he has recently been diagnosed with a cancerous tumour above his stomach. The cancer has spread to his lymph nodes and he will soon be having an operation and chemotherapy.
So keep those good vibes coming to all who need the extra love and good wishes!

That's excellent news!

GREAT TO HEAR ABOUT KRIS!

my father had hid bladder cancer surgery monday.

stopped short of removingthe bladder due to
finding the cancer has spread into the lyph
system... he starts testing today as to hom much it's spread and what "kemo" he'll need to start

let's hope he too has a total recovery!

HEY WIL?

what about the san diego comic con this year?

you going to make it?

YAY KRIS!!!!

Fantastic! :::joins dance and sings "Happy Happy Joy Joy! :::

That's fantastic news. Good luck to Kris for the future. :)

Congratulations to Kris on her cancer-free status- YAY!!! :D I'm very happy for you!! And warm fuzzies to Wil and Anne, who were there for their friend in her time of need. Everyone should have friends like you. I look forward to Anne's update, and I will pray for Kris' continued health, as well as for everyone else who left a comment here that they or someone they love is fighting the battle with cancer. What a nice start to my Friday- Kris beat cancer!! YAY!!!

Peace and long life. :)

Congratulations Kris!

Finding out you are cancer free is one of the best feelings out there! :)

Aw, that's great... thanks for letting us know Wil. And it's the unbelievable support we saw you and Anne giving Kris that makes all of your readers be supportive in return, one amazingly good deed follows another.

Best wishes to everyone, and continued good luck on the fundraising. I'm in the middle of fundraising for the AIDS Walk in NYC on May 16th... and while reaching your goal is difficult it is so worthwhile.

'Mazel Tov' from a long-time lurker and your # 1 Canadian fan. I am so happy for your friend's healthy recovery! Wonderful.

Cheers, JoycieQ.

Wow. How wonderful for Kris, for Anne, for you. Many wishes for continued blessings.

That's such great news!! I'm happy for her, and you two. Very good news :)

Wow - that made me do the happy tearing-up thingy. That's awesome news.

And just because I'm easily distracted, I went to check, and www.voodoomonkeymagic.com is available, if anyone out there wants to snag it. =)

I'm really happy for Kris. Cancer runs on both sides of my family: one uncle and both of my grandfathers have died from cancer and cancer-related complications. My aunt is fighting it now, and one of my cousins fought and won against Leukemia. It's always a relief when someone pulls through.

Aside: I saw a commercial last night. W. F. Shatner was being sacked as the spokesperson for Direct something or other (don't remember the product, sorry...) They had found someone better suited to them, and I thought "Oh God, please let it be Wil Wheaton." It was Mr. Nemoy. But it would have been funny if it HAD been you!

Anyway. Enough on the tangent...

YAY!!! Way to go Kris!

wOOt, *Joining the happy dance*, \m/, and all that funky stuff! yeyeyeyeyeyeyey! It's a grey miserable day here in England but I'm all beamy inside :)

Long may the well-ness continue!

Best. News. EVER. /Continuing hyper-magic-stay well mojo...

Wow!!! That's so great! I am soooo happy for Kris. All my good wishes for a healthier and happier future!

Woot!

Feels good when great things happen to great people!

Best wishes for her continued good health.

Also, cheers for both Wil and Anne for their love and support....that's what makes the world a better place for all the rest of us.

g

I am very happy for you, it makes me glad to hear that you have overcome this obsticle. Stick in there and good things do happen, you have just made my Friday much better. My prayers will be with your continued healing.

YAY KRIS!!!! More healing thoughts winging her way, Wil, so that she can go 20 years without a worry!!!

Dierdra

That is the best news yet, now lets hope that many more like her will be helped by the money raised for research. :)

That's amazing and awesome.

How exciting!!!! I am so glad for Kris & her family & friends! Give both your wife and Kris a big hug for me.

It was the good news that I needed to hear today.

That's great news. /Jumos up and does dance of Joy/

ROCK \m/

Celebratory pledge going out this weekend; thank God today's payday. :)

One of our volunteers at work stayed cancer-free for 16 years; she referred to her latest bout of chemo as "the 16,000 mile lube job". ;) Hopefully Kris has one of those maintenance-free jobs and won't ever have to go in again!

Hugs and mojo all around...

Thats so wonderful! Hooray for her strength!!!

Wonderful news!!! Kris is truly blessed to not only have beaten cancer but to have such wonderful friends like you and Anne. Here's to a cancer-free two years and beyond!

The day here is very gray, but thanks to the good Kris news, it's suddenly sunny where I'm sitting. Commence happy dance!

Woo to the Hoo!!!! That is amazing news!

Freakin A bubba!

Let's still get that $25k goal in the walkathon. Wil needs to walk off a double chin or two.

Great news!

I'm so happy to read that! Congats to Kris!

That is fantastic news! I know firsthand what a relief that is. My uncle is currently undergoing cancer treatment and we recently found out that the tumor in his brain is completely gone. Hooray for Kris (and Uncle Ted) :).

Fantastic news!!!

*spastic happy dance*

Nothing could make this day any better ^_^

That is wonderful to hear! I think I'm about to cry!

That's great news man! My dad is still in the hospital, they had to remove a benign mass from the lower left lobe of his lung. They actually ended up removing the whole thing. He'll be alright, but I just wanted to say that I feel for ya homes.

Thank you, thank you for posting that and keeping us in touch. Thank you God for bringing Kris through this, and all the doctors for doing so well with her. This is just what I needed today, a little hope for the cancer world.

I just found out last night that we're going to lose my uncle to cancer in a few months. They're not even going to try treatment, he's so far gone. When I was 8, I lost one of my best friends to leukemia, and I decided then that when I was grown up and had a real job, the Canadian Cancer Society was going to be my charity of choice. Even then, I gave $5 or $10 each year to the fundraiser run my school did in his memory. (For a 10-year-old in the 80s, that was a lot!) Since then, my aunt, grandfather, and another friend have all joined the "survivors" group. (The friend still has one more hurdle until he can be declared cancer-free, but he's been doing amazingly well.)

Each time you posted an update on Kris, I held my breath. I was SO glad to see this morning that she's been declared cancer-free. Congratulations to her, and good for you, Wil and Anne, for all fund-raising you're doing for the cause. We need to get rid of this disease for once and for all.

Whoa, I'm waaaaaaaaaaay down on this list... oh well... ROCK ON KRIS! WOOOOOOOOOO! :D

Congrats to Kris. Wil, you and anne are such good friends. Big hugs for you all. You guys deserve it!

Glad to hear the good news.

That's wonderful, day brightening news indeed. Hope your walk goes well and Kris's health continues to improve. :)

Wow, Wil. That's great news. I've been following her fight vicariously through your blog and I'm tickled pink.

Give her a hug for all of us.

What more can I say?... That's AWESOME news!!!

[happy dance goin' on in my heart]

where can I learn that crazy voodoo monkey magic? I'd like to use that to help people with their health battles. is there a college or do I have to become an apprentice?

HAPPY, HAPPY!! Thanks for caring and sharing, Wil. This has been the BEST post on your blog ever--the Good News about someone other than self.

Continued prayers and cancer-free health to Kris!!! PRAISE THE LORD, INDEED...

--Joe Fekete

That's excellent news, way to go Kris

Oh, Wil - what wonderful news! All my best to you, Anne and Kris. (and the boys, too, of course.)

I was just sitting here thinking what a shame it was that it's raining on Friday, and a payday at that! Then I click over on the ol' Yahoo! RSS feed to Wil's blog and lo' and behold a miracle has taken place! Now I suddenly feel like putting the top down on my car and cruising just enjoying life! Congrats to Kris and here's to good news!


Oddly, my anti-ergonomic office chair seems softer and more comfortable somehow. Strange. :)

This sort of news is always great to hear.

Canadians should note that it is now possible to donate to the Canadian Cancer society via PetroCan when you gas up (in blocks of 5000 points). It's nothing out of your pocket and it does add up over a year.

Oh my god. Kris, Anne and Wil all the best to you. This is so great. (hugs)

W00T! That's awesome!
I haven't been around WWDN nearly as much as I used to. I realized that I tend to focus on a couple of addictions at a time and the rest fall to the side.
I'm still checking in every once in awhile and want you and Anne to know that I'm thinking about you even though I'm just one of thousands of readers to you.

Great job with the fundraising. Keep it up!
My prayers go out to Kris for good health for the rest of her long life.

this is awesome news - i feel so relieved! congratulations to kris and hugs all around.

\m/ :D \m/

Wil, I'm on the verge of tears myself, and I've never met Kris. I am so happy for her, not only for beating cancer for at least a couple of years, but for having such incredible friends like you and Anne. Which means she must be a great person herself.

Continued good health to her, and to you and your family, Wil.

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOOOO! Great news!
I wish her a speedy recovery from all of the treatments.

that is great .... hope it stays on the up side Kris

I'm glad to hear it. Both my mother (who has since passed away) and uncle have had colorectal cancer; both came through their operations fine and cancer free. I'm glad to hear she's out of the woods for at least a couple years. :)

WOW....
With all the crappy news in the world....this is so super....

That is fantastic news. Those of us in the cancer survivors club welcome her aboard with open arms.

---By the way Wil. Don't know if you're into the horse racing thing, but there's a horse in the Kentucky Derby tomorrow that has a pint of Guiness for breakfast every morning. The name is Tapit. Thought you might be interested...

Wil,
I'm so very glad to hear the good news! God bless you all and all the wonderful people that have been praying, sending positive vibes, mojo, and so on. I am new to your site and so happy to have found it. I'm still working my way through it and learning more about you and loving it. Thanks
Lillie

Amazingly Wonderful News!
Bravo to Kris,& the same to Wil & Anne for their devotion & love. Fan-freakin'-tastic!
Love & Peace.

What wonderful news to come home to! I'm so happy for Kris and for you and Anne and everyone involved! Happy Day!!!

Hugs!
Tracey

That's fantastic news! I'm glad that she's doing a lot better, and is cancer-free. What a great way to start the weekend. Thank you for sharing with us, Wil. :)

Behold the power of Unka Willie and his monkeys!! Seriously, that is fantastic news! Good news is so hard to come by these days, since I'm avoiding all types of news while my husband is deployed to the Middle East, it's so great to stumble upon some happy news. Best of luck with the marathon!

Wonderful news! I'm a long time reader but first time poster. I couldn't resist sharing my congratulations and bursting joy at this news! I will continue to keep Kris in my thoughts and prayers.

COOL!!! \m/

A work mate had the same good news yesterday from her dad :)
