Thank you, Christine. My Dr says that I had a really bad, aggressive cancer, and they almost lost me, but that, since it's been almost 2 years, I'm 90% in the clear now. "If it was going to come back, it should have by now." Of course he's still keeping a close eye on me. He IS my Angel.

I call myself "The Aftermath" - what's left after they killed my cancer - and my thyroid, and my salivary glands, and ......

My spirits are high - so much better than a year+ ago, and I do try to keep my sense of humor. At least I don't have to work anymore. I was really looking forward to retirement already and now I can garden, make pottery, read, etc to my heart's content.
