Wait, what?! I had no idea. Guess we haven’t been in touch since I last saw you in Jerusalem back in January. I’m so relieved and happy to hear he’s currently cancer free, wow, thank god for modern medicine. It sounds like he handled it all about as well as he could. I’m really proud of him and you all for the positive outlook, good energy— and of course, the continued enduring love for Akiva and your beautiful family. Also, I enjoyed the excellent writing. Hugs Xo

It was right as you left I think and I kept a low profile on this - it's his news really even though it's all of ours as well. Hugs back!

Such a drag. I wish there could be a consult prior to all pro edures to discuss anxieties, each of has different ones. Then the medical team can document in the records for others and proceed accordingly. BH, he is cancer free, but there is always more stuff down the road and there could be a better approach that would make this easier for all. Good luck!

Each of us has different one - yes! - and of course there are mine and there are his. It took 2 times getting an IV in (with an excellent nurse) before we asked if maybe he could take something to relax him before. She said, "yes, that's a great idea!" but I could have shot myself that it took so long to figure that out.
