Congrats on both counts. I had a stage 4 mucosal melanoma tumour removed in 2019. Went straight to immunotherapy following. Did one year of the therapy and quarterly PET scans. Now I'm on an annual PET scan routine and have been cancer free since the surgery. Two things - enjoy life and enjoy that new Corvette. I just picked up a preowned 23 Z06 with Z07 package a couple of weeks ago. Life is good.

Very happy for you that the immunotherapy has helped. Cancer is a bitch. I had testicular cancer in 2004 and while I am cancer free and "cured" 20 years on, the treatments caused lifelong significant side effects. But it beats the alternative.
Prayers for your continued remission mate, and enjoy that C8!

Great News buddy!!!!! Awesome to hear a positive cancer free diagnosis. I lost my dad to cancer about 4 years ago. Anytime I hear somebody beat cancer, it's such a great feeling for me and my family. Enjoy that Corvette!!!! God is good!

Great story and it made me smile! Now - call Spring Mountain and get out to the Ron Fellows C8 Owner's school. You'll have a blast. GM pays for 2/3rds of it and all you have to do is get there. Give them your VIN and they will take care of you.

GOD bless you and Congratulations on your new Vette. I went through the cancer routine 6 years ago. I found out that I had Multiple Myeloma and at the time the doctors gave me 5 years at the most. They put me on a maintenance regiment of pills and check ups every 3 months. I had a C6 at the time and had to get rid of it because Multiple Myeloma is a bone cancer with no cure and getting around got real difficult. Its been close to 6 years now. Well I decided I wasn't just going to wait until I clock out. A year ago I bought a 2017 C-7. Now I am planning on buying C-8 soon.
