IN YO FACE, CANCER!

by John Shore on September 3, 2009 · 29 comments

Cat’s radiologist reports that he saw no evidence of cancer on Cat’s M.R.I. She has some other stuff wrong that taken together presented exactly like cancer—but it’s not!

The stuff that is wrong can be fixed. We’re not even worried about it.

So we’re good!

If you read yesterday’s post (5 Words That Completely Explain Why Men Hate To Talk About Their Emotions), you’ll understand why, when it comes to expressing what the supportive thoughts and prayers of hope you sent to us meant to us, all I can do is ignore you, turn away, and turn on the TV.

Congratulations John and Cat

I am so fantastically pleased for you.

And thank you for all this better-than-all-get-out stuff I can always get from your blog, I LOVE it all. Keep on and keep it up and may it (as we say here in South Africa) always rain on your farm. (I don't know though – do agricultural metaphores work in America?)

All my best wishes for both of you.
