My latest blog post without much real news to report. I'm into my second year since diagnosis and settling into my new normal life.

Tom, Good to hear from you and thanks for sharing. There is great insight in your statement, "Surviving cancer is in many ways more difficult than being diagnosed with cancer. It involves returning to the business of normal life with the sword of Damocles hanging over your head." Also appreciate the mention of Netflix's "The C-Word" and the book, "The Emperor of All Maladies". Similar to you, I intend to "beat cancer" by concentrating on how to live.

You say your wife thinks you are doing really well...Women by nature are very intuitive and optimistic...My wife says there is not much wrong with you.....I know you will be with me for many many more years. Her intuition has been on the mark in her past declarations.
