I got my walking papers today.

I got my walking papers today.
And I couldn't be happier.

A little over five years ago part of my right lung was removed for cancer. Today I sat down with the oncologist as we reviewed last week's CTscan of the lungs. He reached over, took my hand, looked me in the eye, smiled and said, "Get out of here, and don't ever come back!" Both lungs are crystal clear, no sign of cancer.

I don't often cry in front of my doctors, but I did today. Especially since we lost my sister-in-law to cancer earlier this month.

So, as is customary for me, I ask you to help me celebrate. If you can, please make a donation to any entity that researches cancer in pursuit of a cure. Or donate to Hospice. Or hug a Hospice nurse.


Now I'm off to a phone bank. I don't think the gang will mind my floating on air . . .

Nice. Clap

Other than the arrival of a healthy baby, I don't think there's any better news.

Happy Days!

Awesome news.

Confirmed, Fox "news" makes you stupid

The ones you are noticing are more terrified than anything else. They are lashing out because they are comfortable; and to acknowledge what is happening is a threat to that comfort. Ignore them, for they are not the voices that will rise in the coming days, months and years. They are not the voices of our collected humanity. They are the old voices of fear and impotence. - Anonymous
