Sweet 16 today, 75 years young last week
some observations and a few thoughts:
NED X 16
NBD X 16
Each of the 5 grandchildren has become 16 years older. No new ones.
The 18 year old girl I met on the beach (Icewoman) will be 74 next monthl.
The survivor rates for each Stage of RCC have increased over the last 16 years.
Ice Tongs are no longer used for RCC Surgery. Ice picks are no longer used for RCC biopsies.
I am so old DiVinci himself did my surgery.
As a result of partsheimers I do not remember any pain from the surgery or recovery.
Good looking ladies write me for advice. Some questions I cannot answer such as whether a nephrectomy is more painful than a hysterectomy.
Cancer used to be a scary word. That was before I. fought back and beat it.
My Medicare expires in 25 years when I turn 100.
Stay away from restaurants serving kidney pie.
May each member of the club be a survivor for not just 16 years, but for many years beyond that
Onr third of my peers have already checked out.
To the best of health for all

Congrats
not only do beautiful women write to you you are also an Rock God to everyone on here
12 months ago when my consultant told me my 4.4cm chromophobe tumour was gone I asked him was I going to be ok
yes he said
I told him I needed 15 years like ICEMAN
he said he could but
i did get a strange look I will be honest
sometimes I still catch him looking at me and I know he is dying to say ”who is Iceman”
when he does I have my answer
he is an Legend .. that’s who... a legend
truly love you big guy

Measuring progress by our own experience
One of the joys of aging - especially when one has had to confront the very real possibility of not aging much further
Personally I look forward to seeing a continuation of the rapid advances they are making against cancer.
I hope you will have the opportunity to see many more changes too, Icey.
Happy Birthday and stay NED,
Fred
