Just an update

Hi everyone.  Just wanted to check in with you.  Things here are moving along with out much fan fare.  I had blood work on Wednesday.  It came back good - probably the best it has been in quite a while.  I think that it is the two shots of neupogen that I got last week.  They really hurt, but apparently they work. 

while we were in for my blood work at the cancer center, there were these young girls selling wrist bands - like the live strong ones - a different color for each kind of cancer.  My color is teal, in case you were wondering.  Jim bought a bunch of them and we each put one on.  It seems mindless and like a little bid of nothing to wear a wrist band.  It is supposed to say they you support someone or remind you of someone.  Jim said that his is just a little to small - that it pinches him and is a bother.  Mine, on the other hand, is to big.  It moves up and down and gets caught all the time.  It occurred to me that these bands are a lot like cancer.  They don't fit anyone.  They get in the way.  And all you want to do is take them off.  The difference is that I can't take mine off, it is in the way of my life and it sure doesn't fit. 

I took my band off, I wish I could take my cancer off - but I can't.
