Holy shit, man. That's... quite a reason to quit soda for good.

How are you doing now? Is the tumor gone?

Tumor is gone. I get checked via MRI once a year now. The chance of recurrence is high, but hopefully years away. I did have a very successful surgery, follow up radiation, and chemo. With all of that, possibly it'll never return. Or, if it does, the current therapies will be enough to keep me going.

In the meantime, I now have adequate motivation to keep healthy. The way I figure it, I could end up living a longer healthier life than I would have if never having had the cancer in the first place.

Good luck. Hopefully you'll find all of the motivation you need in less painful way.

Good to hear such a good prognosis for ya. Keep at it, and thanks!
