The Final Countdown

The picture below is from the Church Hill Irish Festival in Richmond VA that I attended on Saturday. The last time I attended this event was in 2009 (see if you can spot something humorous in the photo that I didn't spot when I took the photo, but saw it afterwards).

After attending the Festival, on my way back to my car I saw this view. The building with the white horizontal lines is where I "vacationed" for almost 3 weeks in the summer of 2009.

On March 20, 2009, I met with the oncologist to discuss the potential of continuing treatment via the stem cell transplant method. 

On March 21, 2014, I met with the oncologist for one of my regularly scheduled appointments that are scheduled every 6 months. All clear. The blood work report was one of the best since the craziness all started.

Before leaving the oncologist's office, my next, and most importantly, FINAL appointment was scheduled for Friday, September 26. 

How should one celebrate?
