5 YEARS - CANCER FREE!

Today was Daddy V's 5th Anniversary check-up after cancer surgery and he was given a clean bill of health. For those of you who didn't know, Daddy V was diagnosed with cancer at the beginning of summer 2001. It was one of those,"hey what's this "golf ball" doing in my arm" that kind of alerted Daddy V to the problem and thanks to some skillful surgery the problem was taken care of quickly. Daddy V was indeed fortunate that the tumor showed up on his arm as that kind of cancer (lycigeneous sarcoma - sp?) is known to take up housekeeping in places like you heart and lungs. Early detection - quick treatment - full recovery! Cancer doesn't discriminate according to age either, folks - ask Brandon McDavid or Matt McCord. They were both in middle school band at the time when they were diagnosed and we thought we had our own "cancer cluster"! If it doesn't feel or look right, get it checked! Always better to be safe than sorry!
