Finally Lighting The Fire
Well howdy. It’s been a while, huh. The last time we talked, I was feeling a bit down. Under the weather. Beat up, broken, busted. I kept my head up, but it was tough. Well, good news. I’m back. And I have some exciting / awesome things to share. MS Ride I think I mentioned […]
1 Year Later, I got 2 words for Cancer
FUCK LEUKEMIA. Yeah, I said it. I think the above picture sums this whole mess up pretty well. Cancer can go ahead and suck it. Honestly, the list of people I have to thank is basically endless. If I start now, maybe I can repay the kindness by 2020. Maybe. First of all, my entire […]
…Just Kidding!
So, as it turns out, my next appointment was *not* 5/1, it was actually today, 4/24. So, too far away to do the immune function test (BOOOOO), BUT, it means that 5/15, the next appointment, will definitely have the immune function test (yay!) as well as a bone marrow biopsy (yay?). However, a few interesting […]
The Questionable Power of Prayer
As a cancer-having agnostic, there is a funny bit of verbal annoyance that I have come across. In case you didn’t know, as an agnostic, I don’t prescribe to any official religion, nor do I feel particularly strongly that there is or is not a God and/or afterlife. While I lean towards there not being […]
Cancer is a fucking Thief
Cancer sucks. For real, guys. It’s funny that almost a year after my diagnosis, still, the most apt thing anyone has said since learning I got diagnosed has been “Man…that sucks.” I mean, what else do you say, really? Apologizing is kind of silly – it’s nobody’s fault. There are a million reasons why cancer […]
Out of the pan, Into the fire
So it’s been a while, huh? I keep telling myself that “today” is the day I write an update on the blog. And then I’m downstairs, watching TV with whoever is watching me, and the 2 sets of stairs between my laptop and I might as well be infinity distance away. I blame the pills. […]
Movin’ On Up!
So, after having my white blood cell count hover around 0.2-0.3 for a few weeks, Thursday, we got a little bump. It bumped up to 0.5. Nice, but nothing great. Then Friday, it hopped up to 0.9. Now we’re getting somewhere. Saturday, it jumped all the way up to 1.4. Today? 2.0. Whaaaaaaat. Go baby […]
Scary Stuff Un-Related to Halloween
Right, so, I mentioned scary, heavy topics to discuss. Well, time to discuss them. But first, for those of you reading this from the East coast, I hope that everybody is safe. So far, I’ve dropped power for about 10 minutes, and lost internet for another 20 minutes or so. All told, I’m getting off […]
Get Me Outta Here!
Once again, I have been humbled by the deluge of shares, likes, and bone marrow donations that have flooded my way in the past week or so. I know some of you have found me through high school, through work relationships, through friends, or friends of my family, and everyone here, I just want to […]
Good news! Well…maybe not good. Not bad, though. Ok, so just news, I guess?
After waiting what has seemed like essentially forever, I’ve finally got some actual news. Decisions are being made, things are proceeding, and unfortunately, my days of wanton rare meat eating come to a temporary close. Quick Aside – Just hit 12,000 views. Pretty Effing cool. Thanks to everyone out there that’s sharing my links, it is […]
