2 years ago I diagnosed myself with a rare aggressive advanced stage cancer of the esophagus with a life expectancy of 9 months. After traveling to all the major cancer centers to formulate a plan I underwent six months of aggressive chemotherapy and radiation followed by a surgery to remove most of my stomach and esophagus.
18 mOnths after finishing all that I am back to work full time, running two miles a day etc. and my CT scan today shows I am still in remission!
Many of you here reached out to me and held me up in your prayers..I wanted to thankyou for that!

Sorry for the lack of football smack Clocky...it is not a reflection on our two teams. It is just that some things are more important than football! <gasp>
