That's terrific news! I hope Mother Nature cooperates and provides you you a magnificent display of the Northern Lights.
And if she doesn't? That gives you an excuse to go back for another visit!

How were you originally diagnosed? What were your symptoms?
Started having stomach pains in August. Ignored them until mid September then the pain was wrapped around to my back. Went to doctor and was diagnosed with gastritis and given Nexium. Back kept getting worse and I insisted on a colonoscopy and endoscopy. Had both and they came back clear, tests were done on Thursday. On Saturday had my first BM and it was white (sorry for the gross details). Monday noticed jaundice beginning and called my doctor. He ordered blood work and my liver enzymes were bouncing all over the place. Bile ducts had been blocked by the tumor resulting in liver issues. Was diagnosed within the week.

What was the original prognosis and life expectancy given to you, if you don't mind me asking?

Eta: who's the coward that downvote the OP
In my original post (when first diagnosed) there were several posters who felt I should not have chemo because it is a terminal cancer and I am only delaying the inevitable and making doctors rich. They are more than likely the downvoters.
When originally diagnosed I had decided to not get treatments and let nature take its course. One of my doctors (not an oncologist) gave me some really good advice. He urged me to give chemo a shot. He said I was young (53) and healthy and if I decided chemo was not for me I could stop at anytime. No one can force me to have chemo and it is my decision. I discussed it with my husband and family and we all agreed I will fight as long as I can. However, if/when it starts taking a toll on me I will then stop.
So, the moral of this story is - it easy to say what you would do until faced with your own mortality.
