    Major milestone..............

    Glad to hear that, and I bet it WAS good. Small steps and major milestones to us, what we used to just take for granted. Oh how things change with the "New Normal". May your tomorrows be even better.

    It only gets better. Instead of milk try that burger with a milk shake. I often go into 5 guys burgers and ask for a shake theyalways look at me funny and say they don't have them and I respond that they should.

    Anyway, congrats on the milestone. Your dam right there is life after cancer and life is good.
