Hi, nogginquest. Your post was interesting. I just got back from a car drive to Florida to see my sisters and some friends with my husband. On the way back we toured Williamsburg, Va., and I also loved the touring and am grateful to have good family and friends.

I am amazed at your markers showing how you are keeping the cancer at bay. The ways I watch for recurring Non Hodgkin Lymphoma is symptoms, white cell count, and Pet scans. I wish there was a marker test for my bad guys, but I am definitely grateful for having had Stage 1 and to be cured, for now. I listened to physician on Dr. Radio a few weeks ago who said that feeling grateful actually causes a release of endorphins. I am all about releasing endorphins, by exercising, smiling, interacting with friends and family, and eating beautiful food!

So good luck, cancer warrior. May you not be plagued by side effects or pain. gp
