  Mike,
  I’m so happy for you! It will be good for you to see family and think and do something besides cancer! My husband and I took a trip out your way and to Yellowstone and Colorado (where I’m from) this summer. We have never taken a trip like that. I tell my husband about you. Have a wonderful time and tell us all about it! Can you get stronger pain meds?
  I hope Dr. Jang does what you want and need! You are very strong!

  I find even a short time away gives you a sense of normalcy and it recharges one’s batteries. Have a terrific visit and enjoy every moment!
