Kevin 1, Cancer Devil 0

Yeeehawwww, love that can of whup ass! Opened one on my nemesis a while back and it seems to still be doing the trick.

Got my much anticipated Petscan results back and its "hip hip hooray" all around. No sign of the devil to be found, which is a big sigh of relief. The last scan left some doubt whether progress was really occurring, but this time the results were quite comforting.

So, next month will be 6 months since treatment ended. For head & neck cancer, need to be cancer free for 2 years to feel comfortable that its gone, so almost 25% of the way home.

Kind of surreal when I think back through the journey. Seems like so long ago that I was going through my treatment, longing for the day to come when I was finished, but trying not to think about it since it seemed forever away. I have to think about it, but I remember most days moved along so slowly. Actually, I don't really want to remember those days, so moving on....

I know it hasn't even been 6 months yet, but thanks to all your prayers, and God's blessings, I have been blessed with such great progress. Not completely there yet, but almost nothing I can't do again so the journey has been truly amazing..... and happy. And blessed. I think about the support I received from so many, in so many ways...... I will never forget the kindness, so much of it, so freely and sincerely offered. While, of course, I would rather have avoided the ride all together, in a way, I am thankful for getting the opportunity to go through an experience that allowed me to see just how lucky I was to have family and friends who care so much. Very, very special. And, lucky that the story has a happy ending!!!

And the lesson for all...... Everyone should keep a can of Whup Ass around just in case, its pretty cool stuff. :)

Have a great week everyone!! We all have much to be thankful for.....
