Now 59 and looking forward to an active 2025!  My daughter is getting married in July; won’t miss that party!

My battle with Stage 4 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC ALK Positive) continues but I have plenty of hope.  Science is wonderful and new medicines and treatments are being developed as I battle this disease.

I’ve been on targeted therapy since August 2023 with wonderful results.  My latest scans showed only a small legion of cancer remaining in my T12 vertebrae.  A couple doses of radiation earlier this month hopefully took care of that nuisance.
