    Quick Update

    Folks - In for my two years and all clear today. So off to 6 month regiment now. I was asking the onc about latency periods and stuff (always positive thinking you know ) and he said leukemia latency period in 3 to 5 years and then solid tumor 7 to 10 years post treatment. I thought leukemia was closer to 10 out. Needless to say (like already bald my PA neighbor), he said that hyper tension was far more likely that secondary malignancy - what a smart ass! AND he is a Rangers fan!!

    He said lose 10 lbs and eat well on the road - "I am in sales are you crazy?? I'll have it medium rare please". Anyway, all is good. BP slightly elevated.

    Take care all and best wishes! Jim

          Jim,

          Many congratulations on crossing the 2-year-out threshold! You must feel ecstatic about this. I remember you asking about the tatts get-together in a separate thread. Will we see you there?

            Tho' much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will; to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
