Caveat: 4 Years Cancer Free

Today is the fourth anniversary of my cancer surgery and second (third? fourth?) lease on life.

Coincidentally, my CT-scan and inspection checkup was scheduled for this morning, so that was appropriate. The diagnosis came back clear – Dr Cho found nothing on the fancy 3D Xrays they make. I hate the way the contrast medium makes me feel – it's like a kind of burning up from the inside, like everything is about to fly apart. But I lie still and bear with it, while they run the machine. It doesn't help that I have to fast the night before. 

So here I am.

Happy Amdependence Day ("am" [암] is Korean for cancer, and today is July 4th – US Independence Day).
