12 months since starting treatment

Today I celebrated 12 months since I started treatment. As my daughter said today "A year ago, Dad, you had cancer... Now you don't." God willing, she is right and although I've had ups and downs, not once do I regret not having chemo and radiation, or the rotten after effects that seemed to linger on and on. Last week I got my sixth all clear from the ENT doctor and although I am disappointed that I haven't had a scan to confirm it, I am confident that we (my oncology team, family and friends) thave this monster beat.

Apart from a change in diet and the perpetual dry mouth, the outlook looks pretty good. Thanks to this group over the past year too.
