Herb, glad to see you again and to hear the “cancer free” phrase. It is always good to hear that!!! I to am still “cancer free”. Sounds good does it not? I have been off here to long too. It’s good to be back with my friends.
T1,NO,MO battling bladder cancer since 2005
I hope all is well with you Catherine. During tis year we did lose my wife’s Uncle Frank who was diagnosed about a year before I was and for awhile we had the same doctor but I went in search for another. I tried to convince Frank to at least get some second opinions because his doctor did not recommend surgery. But he stayed did not have surgery and died. I sought all the opinions I could get from doctors, checked with blogs before and after surgery. Went with majority opinions and I am still continuing to continue. Good to see your pretty face again and take Care, Herb
