Yvonne and I just got back from a nice 4 day get away to Victoria and Vancouver Island B.C. We stayed at the Westin Bear Mountain just outside of Langford B.C. (a golf resort.) We were able to check out the Cowichan wineries, spent some time in Victoria, and even surprised some river otters in Sooke on the Whiffen spit. We have our first appointment at Fred Hutch today, and will continue to go to the center the next couple of weeks. I won't know about the transplant for sure until I pass the tests and the potential donor is scheduled.
John Lennon wrote "I'll Be Back" in 1964 for the A Hard Day's Night album. Since I plan on coming back just like the protagonist in the song; today's post has special meaning to me. John's song showed a mature, confessional style after early rockers dominated the first two albums. This was the last song on side two, ending the album on a strong personal note. The video is a demo from the Anthology album highlighting some raw moments. Live Happy- Greg
Welcome to my Blog
I chose the title of this blog to go with a Beatles song from 1969. The title made sense in October of 2009 because fighting cancer might be a drawn out challenge. I take inspiration where I can, and hope to motivate with my musings about music, my status and anything else related to life. Anyone can post comments; no sign in or account is needed, just click on the comments section towards the bottom of the post and write me a note. A splendid time is guaranteed for all. Live Happy- Greg

Very happy to know that you and Yvonne are building more wonderful memories! :-) You can draw strength from them if you need to. Best wishes to you on getting good test results!!
We had a good visit at the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (Hutch) yesterday with lots of info. They gave me a physical, took blood- which came back normal, and gave a schedule for the next three weeks. I meet my attending physician today and have more tests all week. Greg
Thank you for your update, we are with you each and every step (baby steps!) of the way!! :-) Live Strong and Happy!!
Busy day today, bone marrow biopsy and lung testing. I met with the attending doctor yesterday and I will report on that later. Gotta go-
Glad to hear you got a vacation from the hospital. Sounds like you are back at it. Hope you pass all your tests with A+s. You've come so far! We are all thinking of you and hope and pray all goes well.
