Bucket LIst: Sailing Under Golden Gate Bridge-CHECK!

It has been on my bucket list to take my family on a cruise to Alaska.  So 11 of us (2 balconies, 2 inside cabins) took a a 10 day roundtrip cruise from San Francisco to Alaska. The sun had not been out on the previous cruise but t came out for us!  As we were sailing under the Gold Gate Bridge on the top forward deck of the Grand Princess, it was a AH-AH moment!  The sun was out, people  up on the bridge waving down at us, the Captain blasting his horn, cruise director making his announcements-and I am jumping for joy.  Thanking God I was physically able to do this with my family.  I had cashed in my chips (excuse the pun ha) but it was worth it to take my family.  A year ago I did not think I would be here to go with them.  I stayed in bed one day when i caught a little sinus thing, napping and watching tv.  The rest of them time i was on the go with them.  Even saw a mama bear and twin cubs by Mendenhall Glacier, Juneau. 

I am thankful for this forum, and I always quoting to others what I have learned from all of you.  I am at Kaiser, Woodland Hills every two weeks for treatment and monthly for doctor visit.  After over a year of this you start to talk to other patients, suffering from the same monster in all different forms.  I did meet a man who wanted to remain unnamed who was diagnosed over a year ago with the same diseases and he is NED.  Still having Opdivo I think once a month for him now.   And you get to know all the oncology nurses by name.  Such wonderful caring people.  

Again I am as always grateful to hear your reports and your advise.
