I remember at this time last year I was worried about being out in public because it was just my third/fourth day after taking my RAI ablation dose, and I was still supposed to steer clear of pregnant women and small children. How do you do that at a 4th of July picnic? I remember feeling good and bad about telling people they needed to stay at least three feet away from me - bad because I knew a lot of people wanted to talk to me, see how I was doing which was very awkward having conversations standing 3-5 feet apart from them. But good because that meant I could eat in peace, I had a fair amount of room around me at the picnic table. This year, can tell everyone I am officially cancer free. I can enjoy the picnic and the company better. And, I don't have to stand by myself when we are watching the fireworks.
I hope everyone has a fun and safe 4th of July. Happy Independence Day!
