We've had a little hiatus here at methot.net. I always assume most readers are family, but I know several are not: you've been in the dark all these months.
On May 6th I went to the doctor for a sensation in my throat. Over the next couple of weeks I would learn that it was a walnut-sized tumor at the base of my tongue.
That obviously sent us off on a little detour - a different kind of summer than we were expecting. In retrospect, I should have posted a notice here but my mind was elsewhere.
You can read that story in great detail at Cancer Fun Time!. There are currently 87 posts there, but if you want to start at the beginning, here's a link to the first post.
Treatment ended two and a half weeks ago. I have a long way to go in recovery but I've had enough energy this weekend to organize a bunch of photos covering April-June. I'll get some posts written to accompany those albums in the next couple of days if I continue to feel relatively good.
The cancer I had, by the way, is considered curable and I am expected to be cured at this point. That's not official until after five years of clean PET scans, the first of which I'll have in November. But it is our assumption going forward.
