Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 718 | Wow, happy one year anniversary.
There isn't a day that goes by during treatment that I don't paint a picture in my mind of what my family will be doing one year from now. And, daily hospital visits, prescriptions, liquid nutrition, radiation and chemo are NOT on the list.
It is good to read about bright big lights at the end of the tunnel. You are one bright light!
Thanks for all of your help, quick replies to my e-mails and support.
I wish you many, many more decades of successful anniversaries. :-)

Joined: Aug 2006 Posts: 294 | Many congrats David and what great timing. Today, 7/12 marks 1 year since the last brief nap I took on the radiation table here in Atlanta at Emory Hospital. Today also just happened to be my quarterly check with my ENT following my clean scan on 6/19. The ENT says I now go to every 4 months as opposed to quarterly.
Now if only the taste buds would straighten up and fly right!
