Friends,
I discovered this forum when I really needed it...just as treatment was ending and I was feeling like hell. I got much more support here than I did from anyone at MDACC, and this forum became my home. I visited several times a day. I have had the pleasure of meeting in person and eating dinner with Brian Hill and another friend that I made on this board when they travelled to Houston.

However now that I am feeling so well and thinking less about cancer, I just don't visit or post as often as I used to. Although I do still check in from time to time. I played golf with 3 strangers at my club on Saturday and did not even mention cancer, even when I drank my Boost. Usually people ask about it and I explain that this is what I drink for quick nutrition since I can't easily scarf down cookies or an apple or sandwich or something on the course. I used to feel much more need to let everyone know about the cancer than I do these days.

On another note I did something wonderful/miserable yesterday. I drove to Austin, Texas and along with one young man moved a full UHaul truck full of furniture and crap to my daughter's new apartment near the University of Texas where she attends. On the one hand I feel so blessed to be in the physical shape to keep up with a 21 year old kid in moving a lot of furniture in 98 degree Texas heat. I also feel very blessed to be around to see my daughter, who was just starting her senior year of high school when I was diagnosed, now beginning her junior year of college. On the other hand...I will never move anyone again! Next time I am hiring a mover!

Take care,
Danny G.
