        Hi Kevin
        Congratulations on 3 years!!! Does the blood testing get any easier at the 3 year mark? Josh is having bloodwork today. I get that feeling of anxiety all over again until I hear he's ok. So happy for you.

          Thanks everyone!

          Jane, for some reason I've always been okay with going back for my blood work and x-rays..etc,, but it was my family who would always be anxious and worried. After my appointment next month, I'll only be going back for check-ups twice a year!!!

                  Kevin,

                  Wonderful!! I think you are done with this ugly monster!!
                  But keep up those follow ups!!!

                  Jane,

                  I can't be positive, but I think it may have been harder
                  for Kevin's mother Kathy!! I know getting through Brian's
                  follow up will be much worse for me than it will be for
                  Brian. We'll all hang in there because we have to.

                    3 year anniversary

                    Thanks DianeE!! You took the words out of my mouth. As you know being the Mom in this situation, we will always worry but extremely thankful for the outcome. We "worry" because we "love" our kids, that just comes with the territory.

                          Congratulation Kevin!! My best wishes....I know what you are saying, it's been 7 months since my fiancé’s orchiectomy and it feels like it was a long time ago, probably because you go through a lot of things in that period of time and your life changes incredibly, but anyway I pray to GOD that we all can celebrate a lifetime of health.
