Congrats on your great news! I'm short on refreshing adult beverages right now, so I'll celebrate in your honor with a bike ride!

Good for you!
In somewhat related news, my 28-year-old son is closing in on the 26th anniversary of his diagnosis with leukemia. One more reminder to have hope.

It's my belief that in the near future the treatment for those who get a cancer that they haven't created a vacine for will consist of a simple biopsy to get some of the cancer cells. Which are then sent off to a lab where the guys in white coats will generate a simple "antibody "treatment for your sepcific cancer.A week you'll show up a your G.P.'s office for an injection of the "antibody"treatment and see you later. However,Mother Nature being the person she is will have by then come up with an other life threatening disease to take cancers place.

As another cancer survivor (kidney cancer) I know you have just lost 100 pounds of worry. Enjoy getting on with your life. Don't forget to take the time to smell the flowers. bk

Come on...a dram is only .125 ounces...you can do better than that. I'll have 128 (or perhaps 256) drams of Guinness in your honor tonight. Congratulations on your wonderful news!!!
