THE RESULT! Days 88-89

Sorry. Blogsite was down. So I couldn't update my tests results. I am officially cancer free. The CT scan showed that the enlarged lymph node has completely disappeared with no other signs of cancer activity. Of course there was another resident/intern. And of course he made me drop my pants and yes the unofficial count of people in the medical field that has seen my junk is 15 ( for those of you keeping track at home). I gotta say- when we got the news, I didn't freak out or scream out with joy. June and I were both very calm. I mean I was happy for sure but we seemed to be at peace. Just like we have been for the last few months. Now the last few days I had run every possible scenario in my mind. It's like the movie Limitless where Robert de Neiro says to Bradley Cooper, "There isn't a scenario in this life where you don't work for me!" As I ran each scenario, good or bad in my head, I began to realize that,"there isn't a scenario in this life that God isn't in control!" I wasn't confident about what the doctor was going to say. But I was confident about how I was going to handle the outcome. I was going to fight. And if the cancer comes back, that will be my attitude for the rest of my life. 

Surviving cancer is like winning an Oscar...

I would first like to thank GOD. And my wife June for sticking with me through the tough times. She really got a lemon of a husband and instead of complaining, she made lemonade. (or as Brock would say...chicken salad out of chicken...)
I would like to thank my family- mom, dad, Joan and Dan. You guys mean more to me than i could ever express in words.  Chris and Stevo for spending more time in chemo with me than some patients. My doctors and nurses. Big ups to Dr Murray and my favorite nurse, Carrie.  My boss Paul H for all the support. My partner in crime dave for everything. All the people that were praying for me. Pastor Darryl. Pastor Ken. Pastor Steve. Pastor James. So many more people I need to thank(cue the- get off the stage music). My buddies jay, ANDIS, chuck, dix, rob- who treated me the same and made me forget I was sick. Cat for checking up on me daily to see how I was feeling. My homegroup. I know I'm forgetting someone...

My doctor walked in and said "mission accomplished". I Thought to myself-  the mission has just begun.
