I'll be seeing the folks at U of C in two weeks for my Quarterly CT.
Saw Dr. H. 2 weeks ago, and celebrated my 2 year anniversary too. I sent them all a thank you last month when I and my family celebrated my 57th birthday. Two years ago, I wasn't very confident I'd see a 57th birthday, so we no longer just observe birthdays, we celebrate them!!
Hug those babies and CELEBRATE!
Good Health,
Chuck

Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 122 | Congrats to you Robert. On my 1 year anniversary, I had a picture taken with my Doc, the chief resident that assisted in my surgery, me and my survivor sash from the Relay for Life. On my second, we moved to Florida, literally leaving from my doctor's office in a caravan. Not sure what the 3rd will bring, I do know the anniversary check up will always be in KC. Love that good news!
Sincerely,
Lisa
