The Day It All Began-"Match Day"

? Where will we go for residency?
"We're going to Jacksonville Florida!"
This was Match Day, March 15, 2006. We had applied to all the residency's in the country for Radiation Oncology and after months of interviews had assembled the "top 10 list". On this day we received the news announcing which program we had "matched" at and where we would be spending the next 5 years of our life. The surprise was in the "split decision": 1 year for the internship in Florida and the following 4 years of residency in Philadelphia Pennsylvania. A little unexpected but thrilling at the same time! Florida was our first choice but was such a long shot we never thought we'd get it. Philadelphia was the program Larry was the most sure about... and now we got the best of both worlds! Mayo Jacksonville, we love you!
