What’s in My Bag

For an itemized list see the homepage of my blog. Thought it would be fun to do an aerial shot of what is currently in my camera backpack.
Note: On my Gravatar, I mentioned I am a cancer survivor. Today I have updated that status. The cancer has returned ( so far, a 1″ tumor with cancerous tissue surrounding the tumor, in my upper left lung.) to the same place as last time. Surgery is out of the question this time around as the tumor is very close to a major blood vessel ( which caused problems last time). One more CT scan on Oct.2nd to get a fresher look at things before starting treatment, which of this writing will be Directed Radiation. Treatment may be more comprehensive as new imaging and tests are completed. Probably won’t know something substantive until early November. Doctors want me to get my back surgery completed before I move onto treating the cancer.
I plan on posting till early October, when appointments get a little crazy and distracting. ( Just a warning :-)).
Happy 4th!!
