Cancer-Free One Year Today!
I was diagnosed with Stage III nasopharyngeal (nasal passages) cancer in late February 2012. Started treatment -- chemo-radiation followed by chemotherapy -- in April and finished in late August.
On Sept. 20, 2012, I was declared cancer-free.
That means that from now on, I have two important dates this month: my birthday on Sept. 8 and this anniversary on Sept. 20.
Started celebrating early. Last Sunday, I participated in my first cowboy action shoot in 53 weeks. Did my ususal middle-of-the-pack performance with an odd brace of handguns that I had never shot before -- a .45 Colt Third Generation Colt Buntline, and a .357 Magnum OM Ruger, 6 1/2 inch barrel.
Best part about the Buntline was carrying it in an extra long Simply Rugged Cattleman rig made for me last year. Thanks, Rob.
