Sorry to hear the weather didn't co-operate, .Bobert.
Another time...

What I'm getting is the coast is cooler?  72 a heatwave?
We're in a heatware 22 degrees C = 97F? (5 am)
Going up to  27C today (feels like 33 with the humidity)
= 117? (not sure I'm doing the math right)
Hot and sunny tumorrow, then 5 days of some sun and mostly showers. I like
when it's warm/hot.
Tornadoes ripped through part of our Province yesterday.
I don't have the full report but saw one tornado barrelling through a house -
it was totalled but she saved herself and one cat. Other cat unknown as of
last night.
J - with the weather report. :)

Thanks to all for the nice words. When I was diagnosed in 2003, I read
on the net that 5 yr Dx was the normal period for cancer patients to
wait for the "Its gone" pronouncement, and for SCLC it's 6 yr. because
it is an aggressive type of cancer.  5 yr of NED also sounds reasonable,
too. What ever the number, it is great to have ANY NED report.  In my
mind I am celebrating Both numbers now.  I'll get my next scan at about
the 5 yr, NED mark.  

Still sleeping with one eye open so it can't sneak up on me. :=)

The trip down the coast was not  productive as far as photos were
concerned.  It was extremely foggy Tuesday with the fog rolling over the
highway.  It gave the illusion that we were driving in a tunnel through
the fog. The road heat and cars moving through the fog creates this
affect. It's a neat visual, but not good for photographs.  The coast was
largely obscured. That's not unusual for this coast.  The Central coast
is in the fog belt.  Our house seems to be overcast 2/3 of the time.  
It's only 1/2 crow mile from the beach. Go 5 miles inland and it could
be 100+ degrees in the summer and 60 at the coast. Oh, well I *could* be
in Phoenix. 103 at 1:30 am (I've seen it do that.)

We are going to have a 2 day heat wave this weekend. Predicted high 72
degrees

After the June Gloom I will try to get some pics. I have many on my hard
drive.  I may put some on the web one of these days. I'll report when I
do.

All possible love to all,

His 5-year milestone is from the date of his recurrence.

Congrats, and keep it up.  Is it 5y of NED that's the big milestone,
or (5y > dx) & NED?  You're either almost there, or past---good either
way.  Going from a dx of sclc to "all clear" must feel wonderful.
Staying on the "all clear" for years should keep the smile on your
face.

6 years, 3 weeks, 2 days ago, I was diagnosed with Small Cell Lung
Cancer. Today I got the "Still Clear" from my Oncologist. It's now been
4 1/2 years of NED reports.  Next check in 6 months.

Life Is Good. Tomorrow Barb and I are going down the coast to visit some
friends who live off the grid in Big Sur. I'll take some photos and post
them on the web.
