    I was walking the dog today and it occurred to me....she had cancer, I had cancer, my mom died of cancer and my sister was just diagnosed in the last two weeks. seriously.......fuck cancer!!!

    my sister's cancer is somewhat similar to mine but hopefully hers will be eradicated with 6 weeks of chemo and radiation and nothing else. I believe she will be just fine :mrgreen:

    as for me, things are good. my hand and feet are still a problem but I'm hoping it's only a matter of time before the cymbalta, the acupuncture (I had #9 yesterday) and the super cream all start having an effect. even though my hands hurt, I'm starting to do stuff again....this weekend I helped my brother-in-law install a sprinkler system. goddam, that trencher was an implement of torture....especially in bone dry, rocky and rooty "soil." it beat the living crap out of us and vice-versa. to add to the enjoyment, it was 100 degrees both days. I've got three blisters on each hand but it was good to get physical again. it wasn't too hard to get drunk afterwards on both days :mrgreen: . we hit it again this coming weekend.

    I'm still on the mend but I'm getting closer to my old self.....my old, old self :lol:

    and the best part from yesterday...? ;) :x

    Good to see you felling better, and great to see the Giants doing what they did last night.

    Be careful with how much manual labor you get yourself into. Next thing we know you will be renting mini-excavators and digging up peoples yards in the name of rehabilitation!

    Rob, I'm really sorry to hear about your sister. I gotta say again, this cancer stuff is so fuckin unfair!
    Does she live near you? I'm glad that at least she has you for a brother. :mrgreen:

    Well, even if you're still feeling crappy at least you're able to get out and do some good old manly labor. Always good for the spirit. :thumbup:

    she's in st. paul, MN. her treatment is going to be somewhat similar.....so, at least, I can kinda tell her what to expect.

    Father died when I was 5 (he was 27), older brother damn near died when he was in his early 20's, figured I'd never make it to 30. Didn't really know what to do once I did...

    I guess that's something positive from your experience. Besides the fact that you're still here!
    Like I said, I'm glad she's got you for a brother.
