Treated by Dr. Rakowski of Midland Park, NJ. Visited Sloan Kettering for protocol advice. RPLND done at Sloan Kettering. -
I'll second Mark and Dadmo's sentiments:

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.

My husband says it never tastes any different no matter the "flavor". It just smells different.
Though this last time he got Apple, that was new for us, usually it is berry or citrus flavor. Though I do think his very first CT was chocoloate flavor.

Extending the Original Wish
To those in angst right along with us; a peaceful and well deserved sigh of relief at an "ALL CLEAR" for their loved ones. As long as we're ALL riding this rollercoaster, then the highs should be just as elating as the lows are terrifying. And as time goes on, here's to minimal lows on this ride.I Love My Pack!

I celebrate EVERY all clear, and send my a$$ kicking spirit to battle along side the warriors when it is not. We ARE a family, and we all share the ups and downs. The party simply must happen every year....the connection we all have is too strong. Unity is strength.Retired moderator.
