      Good evening all.

      I'd told myself a long time ago that I'd come back each year, and post an update on my present state.

      Looking in my history, my last post was 2 years ago. So, please pardon my laxness.

      I am a 30+ year MM survivor. I've had 6 surgeries, 4 years of chemo, and it's now been 14 years since my last recurrence.

      Here's my last post-

      In case you'd not heard of it (Radical Remission Project), here's my bio on the Radical Remission Project page.

      I want to do this because I remember how scary it is to go through this, with little to no support. I am living again. I've returned to my former profession– something I was told would never happen. As such, I'd left for 20 years. And in all honesty, I only returned because I couldn't find any other work. And furthermore, I never thought I could handle the work load, due to its strenuous nature.

      Don't give up hope. My initial onset was summer 1987. It's now 2018. Hang in there!

      Best Regards/wishes to all.
