There are many things in life that people argue over. Democrat vs republican, Sunni vs Shiite, coke vs Pepsi, Mary Ann vs ginger the list goes on and on. On the other there are some things everybody knows: Strawberry jelly is better than grape, a medium rare steak is the best way to cook it, the Scorpions were the best metal band of the 80's, the 1949 chevy fleetmaster deluxe is the coolest car ever, and if you get 50% of your liver removed, it will grow back after a week or two.
Ok, some of those facts might be my personal opinions, bit the liver thing is real! It amazes A d and delights me that this is so. I'm going to have the right love on my live basically removed... That's a little scary, as you might imagine, but I take a lot of comfort that is come back on its own with no drugs and weird procedures. It's like are own salamander tail.
I've tried to keep my reading about cancer to a minimum. There are a voile reasons for this. First and foremost is because most of the information is not good. A great deal of the info says I have five or so tears. I choose to say "no" to that. I'm on the far right side of the bell curve so far, and I choose to stay there. Another reason is that I want to listen to my doctors, if I start playing doc myself, I may stop listening to what they say. As Steve Martin said on Saturday Night Live, "who's the barber here?" (If you don't know that reference comes from, get on the googles and look it up. It's quite humorous!)
I've learned many this this year. Some have been beneficial other I wish I didn't know. Either way, it's been quite an adventure. I an on pulling through this, buck all the odds. Will I succeed? Beats me, but as I've said probably a hundred times this year: "I can't quantify how much a positive attitude has on my success, but I know if I think I'm going to die, I'll be right!"
