Last year I took the first pic because my wife's doctor predicted she would be doing a great impression of JJ by loosing her hair, a result from the first round of chemo.

So, 12 months, 4 rounds of chemo, 30 radiation treatments, 4 operations, one blood clot, and 2 wigs later, here we are.

We feel a hell of a lot older but that sure beats the alternative.

All of your kind thoughts and prayers, both public and private, made a world of difference to us.

WE'RE BACK, BABY!!!!!!
So THANK YOU!!!!

Thanks, Martin. That was the past, we're only looking forward and every once and a while stopping to enjoy the "moment".

That's fantastic news Dan

You and your wife both look great, I bet they almost ask you guys for I.D. when you go to the liquor store

mailman · 11 August 2008, 12:27 AM

Glad everything's back on track pal

God bless you and your families for enduring what you have went through in the last year.

Here's to the both of you and most importantly, your health

Actually that just happened at Cleveland's airport. I was thrilled and told the bartender I was older than her parents. Then found out they asked EVERYBODY!

Thanks for the extremely positive update, Dan. May the future hold even more wealth, happiness and joy for you both.

Jimbits76 · 11 August 2008, 12:32 AM

Dan that is great, heartwarming stuff.

You have both fought an incredible battle and look fabulous.

I wish you all the love and luck in the world!

TswaneNguni · 11 August 2008, 12:33 AM

Great news !!

Terry Newton · 11 August 2008, 12:34 AM

Congratulations Dan. It's amazing how these health issues can bring a couple closer together. Your wife looks great and I am happy for the both of you that this scare has subsided.

My wife was an awesome nurse when I was in Germany having my spine repaired from a dog/bike collision. She didn't know, neither did I, if I would ever walk normally again. These times are sure tough and challenging.

Hang in there, the both of you.

Terry Newton

Dan Pierce · 11 August 2008, 12:38 AM

Thanks again, everybody!!! Hard to believe with all that was going on we still traveled to South Beach in Miami and spent Easter in NYC.
Plus, for work, I traveled to over 30 US cities ay least once, not to mention Japan and Guam. No wonder I have gray hair.

Your wife looks wonderful Dan! May she stay well from here on out and may both of you be blessed with good health!

Welshwatchman · 11 August 2008, 05:03 AM

Time flies, Dan.

It doesn't seem that long ago when you were telling us of your concerns.

You both look BLOODY GREAT. Hopefully it stays that way.

Goodwatch · 11 August 2008, 05:03 AM

Thanks Dan but it really brought tears to my eyes because Anne went through a similar ordeal and she too made it! It now is 4 years since her last radiation treatment and I'm so happy she's still with me

Carolina · 11 August 2008, 05:08 AM

Dan, that is such wonderful news - and you guys look great!!

KJacques · 11 August 2008, 05:24 AM

Modern medicine is incredible, but I'm more in awe of the simple power of faith, belief and choosing happiness in the face of a challenge. You two are a perfect example of living that. You certainly are blessed.

On a side note, I wish I could keep a white t-shirt looking that good after a year.

harvey · 11 August 2008, 05:38 AM

dan thats great news!

redshirt1957 · 11 August 2008, 05:44 AM

Great news Dan. Now I hate to pi$$ on the fire but I must be honest. Your wife looks five years younger and you do look one year older.

. You both look great. Can I borrow some hair and I will gladly take the grey.
