It's mid-August 2008, this past weekend was the 2nd anniversary of my surgery and diagnosis of appendix cancer. I've come a long way and sincerely hope the worst is behind me. My follow-up appointment in August has been postponed to early September, I'll have further news regarding my 'numbers' then.

I've followed a fellow cancer patient, Leroy Sievers of National Public Radio, for most of the past 2 years via his blog 'My Cancer'. Leroy died last Friday having lived nearly 3 years longer than expected after his initial diagnosis. Please take a moment and count '1...2...3...lift' in support of his surviving partner, Laurie Singer, and all the others in Cancer World whose fight is ongoing.

Thanks.
