Cancer 010 Neuroendocrine Tumors Malignant Poorly Differentiated (HCC) Cancer I understood. But the above subtitle scares me to death - not only can I not pronounce it, it sounds like some Alien disease straight out of the farthest and deepest unexplored, dark and dank jungle just waiting to be found so it can cast a plague across the world and end the human race. At least it's exotic sounding (kinda) so all I need now is a Mai Tai, an island girl, the sun sinking into the ocean, and the blue-white phosphorus lighting the edges of incoming waves . . . Ha! All I'm going to get is those damn RR Spikes shoved into my Un-huh again, on Tuesday, and I still won't be able to pronounce whatever it is I have. Ah well, just give me the Mai Tai and the girl and I'll spit in its eye!

James...Really hate to hear this diagnosis what ever that five dollar word means, but love the positive attitude you have. I would walk this road for you or with you if I could. Really loved the closing stanza, Reminds me of John Wayne in "True Grit" Take care my friend and be safe...Paul ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ |

John Wayne, Huh? Maybe he gave me this lung/liver cancer! I mean I was with him on every cattle drive, shoot'em up, Indian hunt and true dective he ever had. Never smoked myself, but just breathing the air around he was more than enough to afflict me, from what I hear. Hopefully I'll get through this just as stoically as he did - although, I put feelings into everything. Thanks Paul - my friend . . . j. |
