One Year Mark

Exactly a year ago today I had a lumpectomy at the National Cancer Center.  It was a long year that seems to have gone by incredibly fast.  Just after the surgery, my oncologist, Dr. Park, suggested that each year I should celebrate the day with a party or something.  True, it's become an anniversary for me, when I don't have any other particular anniversary to remember or celebrate.  With good followup test results from mid-February too, I did have great dinner with two friends last night at "Bon Palate."  Another group of friends are having lunch with me today.  I am thankful to all the friends who helped me though the past year and a half.
