Yes, tis I, my dear. :-)
My chemo treatment starts today, and by all ordinary measures I should already have died, but my doctor is cautiously optimistic. She says that my basic health is way above the curve, and so are my chances of survival. :-)))
That still doesn't make my odds good, but it puts me closer to beating the 95% mortality rate that this disease brings.

Dear Michael,
You have always been in my prayers and now i'm so happy that you are about to defeat the disease, i'm sure you willlllll winnnnnn.You know a french saying tells that not any disease comes without our consent.All depends on our free will.

Michael,
It is good that there is still hope. Keep up your spirits and fight the good fight. Our thoughts are with you and I know you will be drinking curried Ovaltine here in the Einstein cafe with us for many years to come.
Thank you very much for your kind thoughts. All of the positive energy directed my way goes into my arsenal, used toward overcoming the rogue cells and winning the battle against this disease. That 95th percentile looms ever nearer!
humbly yours,
Michael R.
When my own will flags weak, and sometimes it does, I continue on for my family and friends, and for those who crave the rare victory over this most virulent of cancers, to encourage their own struggles.

When one part of the body is hurting, the whole being suffers; thanks for remaining an inspiration during what must be the hardest of hard times for you. Keep your spirits up! Here's a copy of "Thirty Lines To Make You Smile" (hopefully you've got a laptop by the bedside).
1. My husband and I divorced over religious differences. He thought he was God and I didn't.
2. I don't suffer from insanity; I enjoy every minute of it.
3. I work hard because millions on welfare depend on me.
4. Some people are alive only because it's illegal to kill them.
5. I used to have a handle on life, but it broke.
6. Don't take life too seriously; no one gets out alive.
7. You're just jealous because the voices only talk to me.
8. Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder.
9. Earth is the insane asylum for the universe.
10. I'm not a complete idiot; some parts are missing.
11. Out of my mind; back in five minutes.
12. NyQuil, the stuffy, sneezy, why-the-heck-is-the-room-spinning medicine.
13. God must love stupid people; He made so many.
14. The gene pool could use a little chlorine.
15. Consciousness: That annoying time between naps.
16. Ever stop to think, and forget to start again?
17. Being over the hill is much better than being under it.
18. Wrinkled was not one of the things I wanted to be when I grew up.
19. Procrastinate now!
20. I have a degree in Liberal Arts; Do you want fries with that?
21. A hangover is the wrath of grapes.
22. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a cash advance.
23. Stupidity is not a handicap; park elsewhere!
24. They call it PMS because MadCow Disease was already taken.
25. He who dies with the most toys is nonetheless dead.
26. A picture is worth a thousand words, but it uses up three thousand times the memory.
27. Ham and eggs: a day's work for a chicken, a lifetime commitment for a pig.
28. The trouble with life is there's no background music.
29. The original point and click interface was a Smith and Wesson.
30. I smile because I don't know what the hell is going on.
