Two years ago today I was diagnosed with Medullary Thyroid Cancer. So far I've been lucky that regularly scheduled blood draws and neck ultrasounds are the only impact on my life. I feel absolutely fine. Let's just hope this continues for many, many more years!
I don't remember anyone ever telling me to check my neck area for lumps. Two and a half years ago, while talking to someone about their thyroid issues, I just happened to touch my neck and discover a funny little bump right in the center. That led to an early diagnosis and a much better prognosis. So check your neck!
More importantly April 23 is the day of the wonderful St. Jordi's festival in Barcelona.....I blogged about it way back in 2009. http://bondia2000.blogspot.com/2009/04/happy-st-jordis-day.html.
Today the streets of Barcelona are lined with stands selling books

And flowers.
And Las Ramblas, the famous pedestrian street of Barcelona looks like this!
Oh how I wish I were there to celebrate once more - the day of the book and the rose!
I'm glad all is well!
