Subject: [ ] An Anniversary of Sorts

Today (May 20th) is a day that will live in infamy, at least in my world.

On May 20, 1997 I was diagnosed with leukemia, a shocker that gave me 2 to 4

years to live. Thanks to Gleevec I'm celebrating (?) 12 year anniversary and

I'm in remission.

On May 20, 2005 I was diagnosed with kidney cancer, the second shocker that gave

me about 5 years to live. Thanks to surgery, Sutent, and Nexavar, I'm

celebrating (again " ? " ) my 4th year anniversary but certainly not in remission.

I'm staying home today, hiding from doctors, radiologists, et al. Not taking

any chances on any more diagnoses. I may hide out tomorrow just to be sure.

Hi Bob,

The date I like to remember is May 10, 2001 when you joined the club.

Bob is #54 in the Zero Club
