Thank you all so much.
But............. And it's not such a big butt anymore (last year my cute tush fell off ! So my wife tells me) As you all know so well..... this has NOT been a solo performance.
I could not have done this without Audrey (she kept me sane and, as you can tell, she did a pretty crappy job I must say) and of course Dr. Mian at Albany Urological. He sold me when he told me he was trained at MD Anderson.
And My GP Dr. Vacek; who was immediately on top of the blood in my urine and its possible cause. These 3 are my actual contacts. They followed protocol and saved my life!
And then there are ALL of you. Some known and some unknown. I was welcomed here by all of you and as the time has gone by I cheered for your victories and cried at your pain and fear, and even had to say goodbye to some. THANK YOU! The REAL People on this site are always there for anyone in need of a shoulder to lean on or a slap on the back of the head (like Gibbs on NCIS) For the "real" heroes on this site who can steer someone to the right treatment or hospital...... Thank you! I am merely the comic relief. but sometimes we all need this.
Right now you may think that I am going to slip away because I am "cured" BUTT......... You are not going to get rid of me that easily! cancer may have brought us together, but being healthy will keep me here.
This is not a solo event. You are my team and I thank you all soooo Much for seeing me through this.
