I'm free, finally.

No more chemo pills, no more fusion treatments, nothing other than trying to lead a normal life. I feel 10 years younger.....

Glad to hear you are done with that, Jim. Hoping for the best from here on in.

I know back when I was doing chemo, now 32 years ago, there were only negative things that went along with it, some very serious things. About the only positive was the body hair loss and not having to shave for the better part of 10 months was kinda nice.
