2 years

I'm very late with this, and happy to be late.
2 years ago, I got a terrible phone call from L that something was wrong with Leo.  When I saw his face, I knew it was bad.
On March 29, 2012, Leo was diagnosed with Lymphoma.  He began chemotherapy on 3/31/2012.  His life expectancy was anywhere between 9-18months, with a median survival of 1 year or less.  Hence the name of this blog.

Thanks to science, the amazing people at VERG (Drs. Slade, Cohen, and vet tech Samarra especially), my savings account and the resilience of my boy, well, here he is a few weeks ago:
He's older, and grayer - but aren't we all, if things go well!  So, we tick 2 years off the calendar, and hope for a few more.  Here's hoping it's YEARS with Leo.
