Valentine's Day Weekend - 2/12/2010

Happy Valentine's Day weekend to all. I have a neice who's birthday is on Valentine's day and this Sunday is the Baptism of her second child, a boy named Joseph.

I got a call from my oncologist today and was told that my next PET scan is scheduled for April 12th with a follow up on the 16th. Even completing six months of steady chemotherapy after a major abdominal surgery where the surgeon believes
that he got it all out, you still wonder about that 20% chance of re-occurence
and always ask yourself..."is this going to be the test that shows something?"

I've learned to think positive though and leave it all in the hands of God. Only HE knows when he wants me.

So in closing, enjoy your Valentine's Day and put some love in this world that could really use some!

Midway through January 2010

Well, here we are midway through January with a little January thaw coming in by Monday. The Winter NAMM show has just ended in California and lots of new and exciting gear was showcased.

Things are going pretty good at this point...still some neuropathy in my feet, but all in all, much better than last year at this time.

I've now been cancer free for one whole year!

Happy New Year - 2K10?

Well, now the question seems to be what do we call it? Is it 2 thousand 10, or twenty ten...I've decided to call it 2K10 (4 easy keystrokes!).

It's hard to believe that it's been one year now since my chemotherapy treatments have ended. It feels great too! Of course, I'll still need the routine CEA tests and PET/CT scans, but the feeling of having that mediport out and not having the needles and carrying the pump around is a great feeling...and I'm very thankful.

I hope that your new year is off to a good start and best wishes in 2K10!!!

The Holidays

Today we're having some sleet, rain and snow. Christmas was last week and was a nice quiet Christmas this year. They are talking about another major nor'easter for this upcoming weekend. What a way to bring in the new year, 2K10!

Christmas Time is Here

We've had some snow already and it won't be long before Christmas and the new year.

Merry Christmas to all and may God bless everyone and their families!
