Here is what started as quick update and ended up being a rather long post about what I am thankful for.  Enjoy.   

It has been a busy 10 days.  We think that we have figured out the kidney issue, Ashley and I got out of town for the weekend for the first time this year, and I had a minor surgical procedure.

An update that includes the words Tumor Marker and NORMAL!   

It also includes the sentence “I’m really glad that I decided not to go through with the whole tongue removal thing”.  So, take that for what it’s worth. 

This post isn’t an update about treatment or about how I’m feeling.  It’s more of a quick post celebrating one last night of normalcy before treatment begins on Monday.  There are a few photos in there too.
