What a difference a year makes! One year ago I had just been released from hospital and I was like a wounded bird perched on a precipice. Now I am learning to fly again and am enjoying every moment.

| Movember beard creating the Walter White look |
November marked the start of workouts at the YMCA, and the growth of a
mustache and beard in support of Prostate Cancer and Men's Mental
Health awareness. No need to say the beard disappeared promptly on December 1st.

| Christmas party with Caroline for Surrey/N.Delta Division of FP |
|
December also meant the return of Jason and Zoe from University, lots of family gatherings, and of course skiing!
 |
| Snowboarding with Jason at Cypress |
 |
| Downhill skiing with Zoe at Whistler |
 |
| Nordic with Caroline at Lost Lake |
 |
| Visit with transplant hematologist Dr Maryse Power at VGH |
December also marked a followup visit with my oncologist Dr Power, who, after extensive testing, has declared me disease-free and given me the green light to continue tapering off my medications and return to work in a couple of weeks. I will resume at Morgan Creek Family Practice working with Dr Katie Weiler and my other colleagues. Thanks again to my physicians, family and supporters for helping get me to this point! And Katie Knopf, my bone marrow donor, gave birth to her first child, baby boy Wyatt. Congratulations!
