Another Milestone

If my memory and my math are correct, today is six months since I left the hospital. This is something of a milestone as I was told that without treatment the median survival post-diagnosis of stage IV colon cancer was six months. I, of course, opted for treatment, but for whatever stupid reason it still strikes me as meaningful that I've made it to six months.

Woohoo! for me.

Of course the marker I'm really shooting for is thirty months. Thirty months is the median survival for stage IV colon cancer with treatment. As someone who has always aimed for the top of the class, I'd like to at least wind up at the far side of the median. 

Plus, there's a lot I could do with another twenty-four months. People to see, places to visit, projects to finish. 

So a minor marker (and a brief blog post) for this six month achievement, but there's still a long way to go.
