Another big step down the "long road," my friends!

I finished by last day of radiation today! It was a photo finish with a blood problem which is still being worked on, but I'm feel pretty relieved. (Yes, I've had "Blood" been running in my head pretty often the last few week!) So many of you have been amazing in keeping up on me and sending your well wishes, I wanted to share in my little victory. The support from you has been amazing!

Thanks again!
Bill

So glad to hear it. Stay strong, you're in our thoughts.

I want to say HELLO!

Yep, I'm still alive! I hope the holidays were great to you all and Santa was good to you all! Now only if Santos Lil Halper would put some bootlegs, tickets, and vault shows in our stockings...

I wouldnt bore you with the delails, so here is the Readers Digest version:
It was a photo finish for radiation, but I got through. Then the complications began with my blood. (Guess which song was going through my mind pretty often?). I've really about platelets and blood cells the last weeks, and I've been back in the hospital a couple of times, including New Years Eve.

But futures paved with better days - the meds are wearing off (today at least!) and I met will my doctors this week. Again, thanks for all of your support and well wishes! It's great to see all the posts on here, even though I'm not on here on the boards as often as I would like to be!

Happy 2012!
Bill

Hey Bill,

Just saw this thread and remembered you sitting behind me at the Chicago show in '09...I hope you're doing better and I'll keep you in my thoughts! Hopefully this new year brings you nothing but good health and more live PJ!

Hello everyone!

I have owed you a update - I haven't been on the boards for a while, busy with doctors.

To make a long story short, as of my last MRI, I'm cancer free! I've been dealing with some complications but I really feel good, for the most part. Whew! Now, let's get a pj tour going so we can get together!

Thank you to you all!
Bill
