Hi Steph,

Yes, I did enjoy a yummy piece of chocolate mousse birthday cake yesterday last night at a lovely dinner out with my family for my birthday. My best present was that our younger daughter, Cassie, who is taking a grad course at UCLA, flew home yesterday(she is here for nearly 2.5 weeks) in time to join us for dinner.

I tell everyone I know that I WANT to get OLD - I remember when first diagnosed telling my wonderful oncologist, Dr. Martin Blackstein,(now retired) that is was his job to make me get old... So far, I am almost 8 years out NED, hoping to add many more years of eating chocolate.

all the best
