Hi Paul,
Well I wasn't going to brag about this since there has been so much bad news on the board recently, but I just celebrated my 4th and 8th cancer free anniversaries on July 2 with a delightful dinner. Since you wanted to hear from a survivor, I thought I'd check in.

If you will note from my signature, they never found the primary the first time and the second, while SCC, was not related. Yes, we can survive this and I truly expect I may have another reoccurence, but I will deal with it when it happens and not worry about it until then.

While cancer may make you make financial and other long term decisions that you had not been ready to make as yet, it should not control your every waking moment until necessary. Regardless of the diagnosis, it is important to have a will and a living will while you go through treatment.

At this point, do you damnest to beat this disease. We are all pulling for you. Don't ley your job get you down.

Take care,
Eileen
