Hey Tony, I have everything crossed for your complete remission and the return of your hankering for Peanut Butter Cups. Tell me, did you take them apart and eat the center first or did you just get the whole experience by eating them intact? (Just a test to peg your personality and report back to the elders, uh, I mean government.)
Last week I emailed "Day 154-160" to my dear friend, Donna. Donna was my "big sister" in nursing school. (Swirlies, Vaseline on the toilet seat type tormentor "big sister") Not only did she give me guidance on getting into the bars without being carded, she also showed me how to get past the nuns' check-in point at the dorm. She gave seasoned lessons on the fine art of vomiting silently and treatments for hangovers.
Since Donna and I are both from Butte, we were bonded from the beginning and we've remained close friends for that past 35+ years. We live in different states and sadly don't see each other much.
To the point. I sent her the entry from your blog to show her that I do some really interesting stuff at work while meeting some exceptional patients... author/husband/father. She wrote back and said, "It was really strange to receive this from you out of the clear blue. We haven't said anything to anybody yet but our daughter's husband (they have 4 children under the age of 6) was just told yesterday that a CT scan shows he probably has an 80-90% chance he has lymphoma. Their son-in-law has been scheduled for an immediate biopsy.
All things for good?

And so it begins.
