I find that I just don't know enough about cancer of any type to know what to expect next with all this. One of my teammates and I were just talking about how we are still in complete shock.

I'm sorry to be all posty about this. Geeesh. I'll shut up for a while.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That's horrible news, MG, and I hope the discovery is as hopeful as possible.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, MG, how horrible! And right after her recovery from carpal tunnel surgery. How utterly unjust.
Looking back, it seems like overall 2005 wasn't really such a crap year for much of its tenure, but since the end of August it has been merciless. Like Katrina gave it a taste of chaos, and now it can't stop mainlining pure uncut evil. I have a vision of 2005 boobytrapping everything in sight, sowing illness and grief and poverty and wiretaps everywhere, and twirling its mustaches and sneering, "Fuck you, losers! What are you going to do, fire me?"
Yeah, well, fuck you too, 2005. You're not even on notice. It's straight to the Dead To Me Board with you, asshole.

MG, my mom went through treatment for Stage 3 ovarian cancer this year. She's now doing really well, especially for a 78 year old with half a dozen other medical problems. I only know what I learned from her specific case, but if you want anecdotal info I'll be happy to discuss things. (Profile addy good.) Also, I'll recommend the book Ovarian Cancer: Your Guide to Taking Control. I read it when I was trying to figure out what Mom's meds were and what the whole staging thing meant. Very useful.

Hey. New board.
health~ma to your assistant, MG.
I'm terribly sad because I was GOING to see a really good friend of mine who lives in Jersey today (she's only home for the holidays, and this might be our only possible day) and the transit strike has pretty much Fucked. It. Up. Boo!
ETA: Then again, the PATH is still running! Maybe we can work this!

Mostly dealing with work craziness myself (and will be for the foreseeable future), but I had a good review and bonus this year (now to see if there's any significant raise involved too).
However, I'm all for kicking 2005 to the curb.
