Happy anniversary to me

I have a PET scan scheduled for February, and the doctor said that if the scan shows nothing worrisome, I won't need any more PET scans. That's a good thing, because I've had just about enough radiation in my lifetime, thank you very much.
He also said that if the scan shows no problems, it is "very unlikely" that my cancer will recur.
To celebrate I went out and spent $729 on four new tires and a wheel alignment for my truck. With any luck I'll live to wear those tires out.

Good For you
I love it, and yes you will make the tires look sad before you are done with them...lol. Measure your live in your tires, my mom once said when she had lung cancer that she must be having a good day, as she brought green bananas and said she must of thought she would live long enough to eat them. I had to laugh at her, and yes she did...lol. Two years that is great news, and best wishes for many, many more. Thanks for sharing that good news with us, always in the mood for good news. denise -

I am celebrating with you my friend, very good news indeed. I agree with you on no more PET I hate putting that stuff in me.
Take care
Hey Jim,
It couldn't have happened to a better guy. You have helped me here a great deal and I am thankful for that help. May your scan be clean and may you have many more trucks.
Best
Steve
