		<description><![CDATA[I just now learned that March is colon cancer awareness month. In my case, that really is true. One year ago, towards the end of March, 2010, I was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer. I had surgery on April 1, 2010, followed by other medical procedures including radio frequency ablation of my liver, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As I write this blog post, I have reached a milestone. Today is my last chemotherapy treatment! Yippee! 2010 was a very difficult year and I&#8217;ve already written about that several times, so I won&#8217;t repeat it here, except to say that after several surgeries and other medical treatments, I am doing much, much better [...]]]></description>

If you don&#8217;t, the short story is that I&#8217;m battling cancer and lots of days I don&#8217;t feel like doing much of anything.

I had a computer-free day, yesterday, and that&#8217;s very unusual for me. I spent the day with my daughter and her family and had a wonderful time.
