I have officially been cancer-free for 365 days!!! And while out celebrating tonight with the fam, our waiter - Phil - asked if there was a special occasion for our get-together tonight like a birthday. Well... yeah, I guess it kinda was like a birthday. There was family and cake and candles and gifts. Sounds like a birthday to me.

| Family? Check! |

| Cake? Check! |
So I got to wondering how other people have celebrated an entire year of being foot-loose and cancer-free. In case you're curious, too, here are a few results you get when Googling "how to celebrate 1 year cancer-free".
- You get oddly specific greeting cards commemorating the occasion.
- You get a list of 20 Ways to Celebrate Cancer Survivorship. With suggestions like:
- Get a tattoo
- Plant a tree
- Organize a blood drive
- Then you come across some really well written blogs like this one. And this one, that also includes this comic.

| "A Year in the Life of Cancer" |
So none of that does much to help answer Phil the Waiters question. But, a birthday? Sure! Why the heck not? Happy 1st Cancer-Birthday to me!
Best thing I've read all day! Congratulations to you Kiki...definitely worth celebrating!!!
