It’s been a few years. Everything is going well. The cancer is still hiding somewhere in my body with too few cells to detect. Today is one of many short visits to the the long term followup department. It’s a short visit to revise drugs and check on the ongoing GVHD issues. Although I’m doing great, it’s sad to again see that cancer is a booming business. The morning blood draw room is completely full with patients looking for hope to live a little longer.
It feels good to return again in part because the atmosphere here at the SCCA is positive and full of hope. I just met an elderly gentleman from Moose Pass, Alaska. Like everyone else he just wants to go home. He misses his dog and his home and his simple life in the wilderness. He deserves that just as we all deserve to live without cancer.
