Countdown

Monday, Julie's cancer was declared to be in full remission - a PET scan showed no signs of cancer anywhere in her body. This means one of two things: either her cancer is cured, or there are pre-cancerous timebombs hidden away in her body that cannot yet be detected. The only way to know which is to undergo regular full-body scans (every three months) to see if the cancer re-appears. If it does, then it is likely to continue to do so for the rest of her life. But if after five years it doesn't, then we conclude it was cured after all.

It kind of feels like being in a real-life Schrödinger's Cat experiment.

To help pass the time, and to encourage positive thinking, I'm setting up one of those cheap-ass web countdown timers.

Just FYI

August in Texas? Yeah, not a good time or place for your car's air conditioner to stop working.

That is all.
