The good news is that my thyroid cancer is gone. The bad news is I am fighting to keep two of my salivary glands functioning that were wounded by the radioactive iodine therapeutic dose. I am also healing from radiation burns inside my mouth. That was from the diagnostic dose.

Thanks for the invite, but unless I get laid off again my personal days are all used up as they accrue either for doctors or to be with my fiance, who lives in a nearby state. I hope you have a good gathering.

Leading in to my fantastic news that I am engaged.
