Wonderful news, Theresa! Best news of the day. Also, need to highlight the obvious: Arthur's fantastic hair is straight out of physics professor central casting:)

That is great news about your clear mammogram. I am still nervous when I have my mammogram even though it has been over twenty years since I have had an abnormal one. I always found pink being the color to represent breast cancer strange. A more neutral color like green would have been more appropriate. Men also can receive a breast cancer diagnosis. I think of women when I see pink. I am amazed at the NFL wearing pink socks but not contributing money to breast cancer research. Interesting.

I’m so glad to hear this great news, Theresa! And I agree about all the pink. It’s a yucky color (reminds me of Pepto Bismol) and isn’t helpful. If people want to show support, why not drive women to their appointments or bring a casserole by the house?

So glad and happy for you to learn of your 6-year anniversary of being cancer free! I am now 4 years of being leukemia free. Enjoy life!

Many hugs,

Thank you for sharing this piece of your journey. I think it helps to normalize different perspectives on illness and our society's response to them.

Congrats on hitting that 6th year milestone, Theresa! May you continue to watch each successive year recede further in the rear view mirror as you move forward with a cancer-free life...
