That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Oh god, JZ and David, I'm so sorry. I'm sending so much love to you and Matilda and Emmett and JZ's mom, and crossing everything that can be crossed for the biopsy to come back with the best possible results.

(skimming a lot to post my love and best wishes to JZ+family, and to all other buffistas out there with troubles and health/family/work/whatever issues. May we all hear good news/best case scenarios soon).

Fuck cancer, and I love y'all. Be well.

JZ and David, you have all my love, and a shit-ton of prayers, along with my most fervent FUCK CANCER. You'll get through this, and we'll all be with you.
This this this. We are thinking of you and the whole family and pulling hard for you.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

JZ and David, all the love and positive vibes I can muster are headed your direction.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

She’s asleep on the meds here in the hallway.

She’s on the list for a biopsy today but we don’t know when.

Hopefully this afternoon.

We might be able to get her into a room today.

Probably won’t talk to the oncologist until after the biopsy. Then we’ll discuss treatment plan. They might do chemo first to shrink the tumor. Don’t know yet.

They don’t seem to think she needs emergency surgery (no blockage or bleeding etc)

Likely here overnight but could be home tomorrow with a dilaudid scrip.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

JZ, all the love in the world to you.

David, anything Jim and I can do, say the word.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

{{{JZ}}}, I'm so sorry you have joined this most miserable of clubs. I wish you swift & easy healing. And of course, anything I can do to help is yours for the asking.
