Life is good

I'm just a few weeks shy of a year since RALP. For Christmas, the kids got together and bought tickets for my wife and I to go to a concert at the St. Louis Symphony. So, this afternoon, we drove down to STL (2 hrs from home), checked into a hotel, went and had a nice dinner (Indian) at the restaurant we last ate at the evening before Surgery last February, then on to Symphony Hall.

I made it through without a dribble, even though the after-intermission portion was right at an hour (Mahler 5th). Now, back at the hotel preparing for bed. A leisurely morning tomorrow, then home early afternoon.

Guys, there is life after treatment...and it's GOOD!

Halbert, i get how you feel. I am pretty amazed, that its been a year for me, its gone so fast, and so well, that i sometimes pinch myself.
Glad its the same for you. I'm sure you, like i, appreciate these enjoyable moments, times, events, whatever, so much more than in the past
