Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

I hear there is a pond here somewhere. Makes me think of fun times out at my Grandma's pond, fishing off the banks. Best luck I ever had was a cane pole and a grasshopper at the end - caught some nice bass that way.

How is everyone today?

Good morning, Pond. Can ya send me a stress free day?

Dentist horror? Please tell!

Major toothache - two messages left - no return call - went to office and stripped my gears before entire staff. They saw a side of me that none could imagine existed. Not proud - I apologized.

Yes there is a Pond - beautiful Pone = welcome!

Beware the Pond Python. Grab a lily pad and set a bit.

Happy birthday WV. That's a delicious looking cake for sure. You and I were almost brought into this world on the same day.

Thanks! I seem to remember ours being close. Was yours Tuesday?
Happy belated birthday

Well, finally did it and met my new oncologist yesterday. It was so very hard to say goodbye to the onc I was with since 2007 and the one who literally saved my life, twice, but it was time. The whole pandemic mess had him thinking of retirement (which he was well in the bracket already) and the long trip to see him was getting hard on the DH. There was now a cancer clinic with a hematology oncologist covered by my insurance way closer sooo. The new onc is a nice guy and very competent but when I told him about being 5+ yrs in TFR (treatment free remission) I thought he was going to have a heart attack! He immediately announced that he was not a fan of CML patients going TFR. (I took part in the original clinical trial) Oh crap! That's tough. I've been doing fine not taking chemo drugs for years with no reason I should go back on those nasty things so as long as my tests keep coming out good, I'll just keep popping in every six months for your nurses to do their thing, I'll say hi so you can get your big bucks from my insurance, and we'll get along just fine. I haven't told the DH about this yet, he's such a worry wart.

Sounds very similar to my deal; not currently on chemo or radiation. Go back in 6 months.
Not sure I'd opt for chemo again; one doesn't to be any more effective than the other, and the after-effects are a lot easier to deal with. We'll see....
