6 more to go

If my calculations were right, I would have been finishing radiation next Friday. Just in time for the event and just shy of my 28th birthday. Do you think I remembered that Monday is Victoria Day...so everything is pushed over to the following week. Jeeze louise...just my luck! It's okay, right? What is another day? #*&^@&#+!!!!!! lol

The event is coming along. I am nervous. Getting to this point, though, has really been an interesting experience. You get to see the true characters of individuals. Claudia, Sabrina and I set up an info booth on Wednesday. Clearly the parents of these children were not interested in buying WIGGED OUT merchandise, but thats ok. Be cautious the next time you buy a box of chocolates when a cute little face rings at your door...lol...where is this money going? I am a sucker, I would probably still buy a box.

Then there are those who have really been touched by Lymphoma. I met one women yesterday whose husband died from it 4 years ago and he was 42. She donated money with no question. Then someone else who was actually a Lymphoma survivor could not care less of the fundraising efforts for the cause. Life is strange sometimes. Bitterness can really take control on someone's frame a mind and its a real shame.

I spoke to a doctor and he has been diagnosing at least one patient a week. It is becoming so coming yet not receiving much recognition. No one knows what purple is. Who can blame them though? It hurts when you try your best to promote information and all someone has to say is how purple is a really "gay color". I become livid with how ignorant people are. Sabrina thinks I put hexes on people when I say that everyone gets their turn. lol...But it's true. It's all about taking some preventative measures and becoming educated about an unknown. The only people who know a lot about cancer are those who buried a loved one or survived from it. Really sad.

Cancer is becoming NORMAL when the disease itself is about abnormal cells that form. It's not OKAY. People tell me,"Lisa, your are lucky because out of all the cancers, it is the best one to have." Like I just made a deal at the Mercato...Are you kidding me? It's the best one to have because of my age, my health and the fact that I could fight it, but if I was 40 yrs old, my chances would have dropped big time. No Cancer is the best one to have. I still did chemo. I still lost my hair. I still went through the same process. I hope people just learn.

May 26th is the day in question. Hopefully we will be able to stick to the schedule. I am tired of waking up at 6:30..lol...as well!
