What a wonderful post, Dr. Mike. Congratulations on 10 years!!! What a fantastic blessing . . .

You share a birthday with our son. We will be going down to his university tomorrow to take him and his girlfriend out to lunch for his birthday (and hers, actually, which was 4 days ago). It has been almost a year since my "official" diagnosis, though the process was already underway.

We indeed should be grateful for all of those who contribute here, at our doctors' offices, and throughout the community. I have completed the registration and orientation process to begin volunteering on the Head & Neck Cancer Unit at the CCC here. I will be visiting patients and their families, and my wife will join me soon. Anything I can do to give back for the miracle I have been given so far.

Enjoy your birthday, enjoy your family, and enjoy another day cancer free. COongratulations, Mike!!!
