Ken,

Let me add another welcome to this site. It's great to read how much you've recovered in the past couple of years. I know what you mean about wishing you had kept a journal at the time -- I didn't really keep track of things either because it seemed like so much effort had to go into the day-to-day survival routine. The good news is, as more time passes, many of the gruesome memories of surgery and radiation truly fade into the background, although I would have found that almost impossible to believe at the time. Many of my happiest and most fulfilling experiences have been in the years after cancer -- and I wish you many more years cancer-free to enjoy with your family!
