Name that cancer
I was reading another post and someone had "named" their cancer. At first I was a little taken aback, but then I thought that's kind of funny. They said "Harvey is gone and he's not coming back." I have Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma which I will be living with for a very long time, so I thought if I have to share my body with…

Funny story - port surgery
So I hadn't slept in a few weeks since cancer diagnosis, as many of you know is quite common after diagnosis. So the doctor comes up to me before my port surgery and seems very stressed. He states that I am on two medications that will interfere with twilight medicine and I'll be 100% fully awake during the procedure. He…

God I miss Paul Harvey
There was just something hearing, "And now you know the rest of the story", or "Good day." I grew up on a ranch and as a young boy (beginning at 6 years old) every morning about 0600 I would listen to Paul Harvey on the radio. I'd be sitting in my parent's truck with the heater on full getting ready to step out into an…

New Name
When being wheeled into the OR to have my right testicle removed the nurses and everyone were trying to keep things light. When they got me into the OR I told them that after the procedure they would have to call me by my new Chinese name "One Hung Low". They got quite a chuckle over that.

I was abducted by an alien spaceship
I had a radical hysterectomy for uterine cancer (endometriod) and after receiving my surgical report and my cancer staging report, I found out it was so large it was like I was 4 1/2 months pregnant in size. I told my friend who quickly said, "Oh, you didn't have cancer, you were taken up in the mother ship and…

Coping via gallows humor...
When I was in my fourth year of treatment for Stave IV endometrial cancer, my eldest son became engaged to a sweet young gal who lived a couple of hundred miles from us. The first weekend she came to spend with us, she was so careful to tiptoe around the topic of cancer, surely not knowing how to broach the subject of her…
