Even Better Than Great News - Many Blessings

(Sorry for the delay in this blog entry; I'm just very busy with good things.) About a month ago I was at Duke Medical Center for my now routine MRI and check-up. I'm now on a twice yearly schedule. It is wonderful to have longer periods between visits. 6 months is enough that I now have days, sometimes weeks, when I don't even think about my "adventure." What a blessing.

My Duke doctors told us that surviving this long moves me to the part of the probability curve where recurrence is very unlikely. In other words, this particular "adventure" is over; I am whole. What a blessing.

They also showed us the comparison of my recent MRI and one from two years ago. Not only have there been no negative changes, but the scar tissue at the edges of the tumor excision is actually dissolving. My brain is even healthier than two years ago. What a blessing.

I count my blessings every day. It's always a big number. May you be so blessed.
