Still here!!!

High time for another post, wouldn't you say?

I'm having a personal celebration tonight, as this is the second anniversary of Al's last cancer treatment. Dr. Beck tells us that if he can go three years with no cancer detected, he can consider himself 'cured' (whereas 'they' usually say five years).

So . . . two down, one to go.

Al had another bronchoscopy in May, just to take a look around to ensure no new masses. All clear on that front. Followed this month by a CT scan; again all clear. So we've nothing but good news. He's doing quite well from my perspective. I'm not sure if it's the sunny weather that's boosting his spirits, having a new project (namely Mikey's 'flip' house), or that he just decided to stop complaining, but his energy is up and his outlook is far less gloomy.

We might just make it through this after all!!!
