The one where they went to Toronto

Back from the big smoke now and getting myself back into the work groove after a busy few days in Toronto.  My oldest daughter and I had a great time playing tourist and catching up with family and friends.  The reason for the trip, of course, was a follow up appointment on the tumour (fuck cancer) and I am happy to report that the tumour is shrinking and genetic testing has indicated that I have a 96% survivability rate out ten years....YES!!!!  

Much relief in my world.  Family and friends have shown me nothing but love and support and I love you all dearly for it. I'm a true believer in positive vibes and thoughts over coming things and this is an example.  Sorry for scaring the bejesus out of you...I swear I didn't plan it that way.  I of course had no doubts.  Well, ok maybe a few.  Those moments of quiet reflection that would occasionally turn to tears at the unknown future.  A bit of fear that would gain momentary control of my thoughts. Thankfully I didn't give into the fear.  I moved on to, you know, living.

I think in light of everything I am going to keep blogging.  I've come to enjoy the exercise and I somehow feel a tad more enlightened by the process.  Not smarter or anything silly like that, just more self aware.  That can't be a bad thing.  Right?  I suppose we will see.

That's really it for now.  A simple update with that good news and a promise of more rambling thoughts.

Ciao for now
