Thank you, thank you, thank you

It’s been a blazing fast five weeks since I got the all clear from Dr. Motzer. Everything that had been put on hold for this cancer battle roared back to the foreground. Work, socializing, normal exercise and activity…they all returned to center stage. On the other hand, cancer stuff (like this blog) were neglected almost immediately.

Not surprisingly, the question I hear the most often is: “how are you feeling?” The answer is that I feel great! My hair is finally back, and I only have one niggling remaining symptom. Otherwise my energy is more or less normal, my fitness level has improved, and I even got some sun. It is/was a big shift going back to work after months off, but it was nice to focus on something else besides my health.

But enough about me. This post is really about all of you.

I really don’t know the words that can express how important all of you were in helping me maintain the right attitude during this whole thing. It’s just something you have to experience to truly understand, although I certainly don’t wish it on anyone. But let me just say this, it is of critical importance and you all delivered it in bountiful quantities.
