I got my walking papers today. [View all]

And I couldn't be happier.

A little over five years ago part of my right lung was removed for cancer. Today I sat down with the oncologist as we reviewed last week's CTscan of the lungs. He reached over, took my hand, looked me in the eye, smiled and said, "Get out of here, and don't ever come back!" Both lungs are crystal clear, no sign of cancer.

I don't often cry in front of my doctors, but I did today. Especially since we lost my sister-in-law to cancer earlier this month.

So, as is customary for me, I ask you to help me celebrate. If you can, please make a donation to any entity that researches cancer in pursuit of a cure. Or donate to Hospice. Or hug a Hospice nurse.


Now I'm off to a phone bank. I don't think the gang will mind my floating on air . . .
