On May 29, 2008 I was diagnosed with Tonsil Cancer. I created this blog to share my thoughts and sequence of events for family, friends and others that are experiencing the same "Inconvenience in Life." I have been blessed with a great life full of wonderful experiences, a caring family, a fabulous wife, outstanding children, good friends, and satisfying careers. Each day is truly: Another Day in Paradise.

DAY 37 - Another Day in Paradise
Happy 4th of July! Independence Day holds another meaning - in anticpation of the day I will be free from this "inconvenience". It is like having a mouse living in your neck.
Greatest part of my day was a visit from my sister who drove over from the coast. Good day talking about our kids and memories. As I had previously mentioned that an undone task was to go up in a hot air balloon over the Napa Valley... I had hoped to pull that off this year, but not sure as my birthday falls about a week post treatment. Most accounts I have read from others is that may be one of the worst of times physically.
So..............she presented me with a very cool early birthday present - a certificate for a hot air balloon ride from Up & Away Ballooning. Will post photos of that experience later. Totally cool. I love my sister and I know she would do anything for me. Again - I am truly blessed with lots of love coming my way.
Small 4th celebration with wife and daughter - fireworks and ice cream. It is great to live in AMERICA!
Just 3.5 days to go before the start of treatment.
Song of the day: 5th Dimension: Up, Up & Away
