Tag Archive for 'dealing with cancer'

So far, I think the worst thing about having cancer was finding out that I had cancer.

Since then, I feel like it’s been nothing but good news. My bone marrow is clean, I’m not going to die – then the chemo isn’t (so far) as bad as I expected – then my pulse goes down, my cough is gone, my blood tests are better, the nurse is cute, the cookies are delicious (my appetite is back), and I feel more energetic. I mean, even the drought seems to have stopped since they told me I have cancer. I made it rain people! I made rain!

Now, surely there have been things that could be called bad news since the diagnosis – my website got hacked, the cancer is in a later-stage, Comedy Central changed the set of The Daily Show and gave Adam Corolla his own time slot, etc. Certainly all tragedies. But give me a break, nothing compares to that call from the cancer doc.
