5 Years Cancer Free

Last Thursday marked the fifth anniversary of my L-RPLND, which means I am now five years cancer free!

This was a bigger deal for me than my seventh anniversary of survivorship earlier this month.

My wife doesn't think remembering what I went through back then is something to celebrate, but what I'm celebrating is how far behind me that time is and how many wonderful things have happened since that I've been around to see.

With that, it's about time I got on my bike today!
