Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Our wings are not tired.

Sounds like some first rate humaning, with a side of adulting there, Teppy!

Buffista birthday calendar shows that today is a celebration of Glamcookie. May the year to come be filled with love and joy.

I’m impressed you managed to both find a company and CALL THEM (!) and set up an appointment, tbh! That seems like the worst part. Personally I’m more than willing to hand someone my money if I don’t have to figure out who to call, call and make an appointment, arrange to have the work done, figure out if there’s a better/more cost effective option, etc etc…

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh no, sumi, I'm so sorry to hear that! I don't know if she keeps up here as much, but you might talk to Lee/Perkins?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Oh no, sumi! I hope it was caught early enough that it can be treated easily.

When I started learning about prostate cancer and tests and treatments and medicines, I started at cancer.org, but actually found the most helpful resources through YouTube and Facebook. Just remember to treat anything from there with a critical and skeptical eye.

I did go to cancer.org.

I have an appointment with a surgeon on Tuesday. I have the most common form of breast cancer which I am taking as a good thing.

I was pretty stunned yesterday & not feeling up to much today.

I'm sorry, Sumi. The two people closest to me who had this diagnosis, a cousin and an employee, both responded well to treatment and have been cancer free for years. Lots of ~ma for great caregivers and effective treatment.

That seems totally fair. Good luck.

Definitely give yourself time to feel stunned and be good to yourself.

I am looking back & celebrating last week as the last week in a long time that I will have without medical appointments.

And in other news: I really enjoyed this year’s Kentucky Derby & American Pharoah has entered the Racing Hall of Fame!
