5 Years Post Op

Yesterday (Feb 18th) was the 5th anniversary of my MOAS (Mother Of All Surgeries), which was done in Washington DC. So, 5 years ago today, I was probably getting out of ICU and being moved to my private room, where I would spend the next 16 days.

Since then, I have had some ups and downs. Roni and I have had opportunities to travel to some great places (Israel, Florida, Arizona, Bahamas). We have spent time with friends and family. We've eaten some great food and have enjoyed life.

On the down side, we have gone through the battle of cancer recurrence. We have met with cancer specialists, spent time in doctors offices, and chemo rooms.

It's been one heck of a ride, and one that we were hoping not to have to go through again, but, here we are.

We are thankful that G-d has been with us, and seen us through some rough times. He has given us the courage and strength we needed, when we needed it. We are thankful for friends and family that have stood with us during this time, and can never do enough to show our appreciation for the love that has been shown to us, and the prayers that have been offered up for us.

So, 5 years since my major cancer surgery, and 5 years, 4 months since I was diagnosed and I'm still here. In 5 years, I hope to post again about the adventures, trials, good times and bad times that we have gone through.

  2. Congratulations Kevin! FIVE years! WOW.. Looking forward to your post after the next 5... I'd say 50, but I'd be the 8th Wonder of the World if I were here then!

    Love & Prayers to you & Roni
