you know it was just one of those days that I woke up and thought things were going to be cool because I woke up to the sound of sublime playing and I had me a good ole wake and bake and then BAM!!!....my doctor tells me I have cancer......Its one of those things that make you want to cry....
Well, hon, I'm so sorry about that diagnosis. I'm sure you DO want to cry. You're far younger than someone ought to be to have malignant cells showing up. Do they think they've caught it early? Do they know what course of treatment you'll go through? Esophageal cancer is on the rise, and they think the reflux factor is a big contributor to that. Pretty soon I figure they'll routinely put everyone on acid-blockers like Prevacid or Prilosec. Please know you're in our thoughts and prayers. And let us know how you're doing!
