Next Steps
Upcoming Surgery and Treatment
"Today is a good day." That has been my answer to the "How are you?" inquiries for the past few months. This response came as a result of the roller-coaster that continues to best explain my cancer journey.

Another New Plan
Two months have passed since my last post and life is (thankfully) a lot less painful and a lot more optimistic.
