Laughter is the best medicine

Cancer really isn't that funny. It isn't even fun. But funny things happen along the way to beating it. For example, during my last go around with Hodgkin's I was on the same treatment schedule as Bill Cosby's slightly older sister Bunny. I really don't think she was his older sister but it sure made me laugh to see her smiling full mustache and all every time I went in for treatment.

The purpose of this blog then is to share the funny events that take place while I beat cancer as well as keep folks up to date on my treatments, progress and banana flavored barium intake schedule. Please feel free to share funny things in the comments section as well, as everyone needs a good laugh.

A fun contest, whomever can identify the link

between this video and this picture(not named Ben Wallisch) I will donate $500 to your favorite cancer charity. Chemo so far has been chemo, coming up on hour 18 of a 24 hour drip. Thankfully I got all drugs infused last night and no wacky reactions so just more of the same tonight and tomorrow night. Massive fatigue and nausea but they have gotten my pain under control via MORPHINE!!! what a nice trip that is. Discharged Tuesday morning if everything is on schedule and have to wait until Thursday for one blood test then home to sleep straight for 3 days. Hope everyone is well. Have to say MD Anderson is one great place with some great people, way better than any of the hospitals in New York we had the fun of visiting. Great to see.

I think God chooses very special people and gives them the hard job of bringing peolple close to Him, so you should be very proud of you and your family, you are doing a great job, you are giving us a great example of good attitude and faith!!! We will be praying for you and we ask you to have Marianita in your prayers!!!! ANIMO!!!!
