: Slouching Towards the Cure

[Guest guest]

I cannot add much to the chorus of well wishers that has responded to

your latest news. You are the engine that drives this train and we are

all pulling for you.

You are doing well to put on nine pounds in three weeks. It took me a

year to gain twenty pounds. I weighed less than 100 and I am 5'8 "

My nephew told me I looked like a supermodel. He is so cute. The next

20 lbs went on in 6 months. And the next in 3 months. You can see

where this is going--straight to the plus size aisle at K-Mart. You

can pork up some more, . Just find something you like and eat

lots of it.

I also had some spine involvement that freaked me. The tumour was

attached to my tailbone which had to be removed. I had visions of

spinal fluid leaking out. Silly me. I really don't miss that body part

but I think I'm getting shorter. Just have to stop slouching like

mother told me.

Sounds like this radiation should do it for you. I did chemo and

radiation before my first op right through Thanksgiving and Xmas.

My family rallied around like troopers and because of the location

of my problem, the jokes just wrote themselves.

I have my fingers and toes crossed for you.
