in Head and Neck Cancer #1

Friends,

I met Bev and her posse (husband, daughter and granddaughter) yesterday and it was great!  Bev is a real sweetie and meeting her increased my “happiness quotient” 10 fold. 

It is interesting how we share some H&N side effects (eating, talking, swallowing, etc.), it made me feel very normal.  I guess it takes one to know one.

Needless to say, Oregon is a better place with Bev in it.

Matt

    Thank you Matt

    My tech team couldn't get the picture up last night.  I looked for an old message from John on how to add pictures, but couldn't find it.  It was wonderful to meet you.  I hope I have more visits to Oregon in my future.

    Great Photos!

    I'm envious. I still owe Bev a luncheon at the Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite.  We should make it a bigger party!

    Sweet!

    Love it! So glad you were able to meet in person. Hope you enjoyed your time together. It's nice to share those "new normal" times with the folks that know what this is all about.

    I have to admit, I did not recognize you without the lawn chair.

    Meeting and talking with fellow worriors is such a great experience.

    Enjoy the day

    Funny

    We got to the restaurant and I wondered how I would know who Matt was.  I am easy to find with the painted lense!

    Also

    Friends,

    In my first post KTeacher wrote “Good luck to you in the journey to eat”, little did I know my journey would include lunch with Bev (someday). To be honest, the visit was way too short, we left a lot unsaid at the H&N table.

    As for recognition, Bev rolls with hip crowd, she was easy to spy correctly.  As for me, I know who I am (I think).

    Enjoy your weekend!

    Matt
