I concur with Nelie. It was very nice to see the last of that &@!! mask. At my last treatment session they asked me if I wanted to keep it as a momento. I politely declined.

Congratulations on completing treatment John. I remember walking out of the basement of Stanford for the last time. I haven't been back to the basement since May 7th and I can't say that I miss it at all.

I took my wife to dinner tonight (almost 2 months after treatment) and had the seafood risotto and could taste it. I also had a bite of my wife's filet mignon and could taste it as well. It is exciting to be returning to the world of the eating. Hang in there John, you'll get there as well.
