      Been away a long time.  Now 12 years out from first mm,  4 years from second. NED.  End of my nose chopped off and replaced this year due to deep BCC that did not present on surface.  Over 40 BCC and SCC  positive biopsies since it all began. Turned 70 this year but still trim and slim, just a little slower, haha. You newbies stay strong, think positive and kick ass!!!

          And a happy New Year to you, too, Bill!   I've been around coming up on eight years (what? could that be?  see how, believe it or not, you can lose track?)    Remaining Stage III, recurrence 5 years ago, holding…and hanging on!     Remembering the old days of the OTBB, wow what a time would be had NOW in that forum, huh?    Good to read your occasional remarks, miss the old sarcastic humorings!   Be well, everyone, oldies and newbies!
