Hi Folks,
Not only is today my Birthday, but yesterday, I had another PET Scan, which showed NO remainder of the Cancer I have been fighting over the past year and a half. Even though there is always a chance of it coming back, the Stem Cell transplant I just went through in June hopefully will prevent that re-occurance from happening.
It isn't over though -- as soon as I am well enough to withstand an operation, I have to go back into Brigham and Women's Hospital here in Boston for an operation to repair an Abdominal Aeortic Aneurysm that I have also been walking around with for over a year and a half.
Otherwise referred to as a AAA it has grown to over 6 centimeters and is at the point it is near bursting which could prove fatal. Harvey Corman, who just passed away had his burst about six months ago, but the were able to operate and save his life, but it was complications from that surgery that took his life in June of this year. So, I guess it is something I shouldn't ignore. Isn't maturing a great experience --- all I want to do is golf. But I keep going from one sand trap into another.
At least I have my groups here at AARP and my regular online friends.
