To all my friends who are recently engaged or expecting: I'm sorry. Just celebrated your wedding anniversary? Landed a new job? I'm sorry to you too. It's not like I planned to steal your thunder. I don't even want your thunder. But that's what happens. Inconvenient, inconsiderate Cancer comes in and steals the spotlight.
Being told I have Cancer is the scariest news I've ever received. But if you're going to get Cancer, I've been told that Lymphoma is the Cancer to get. Like it's the new "it" bag or something. Like I got the trendy version of Cancer. "It's good!" I've been told repeatedly. But even with this "good" news, Cancer is Cancer. It's still fucking scary. It's still fucking Cancer.
But as my grandmother told me, I'm just like her: stubborn and persistent. Cancer doesn't stand a chance against women like us. In fact, I feel sorry for Cancer having to go up against me because it will lose. So this blog is the journey of me kicking Cancer's ass. Cancer, I'm stealing the spotlight back.
*Please excuse any grammatical errors throughout this blog. When you have Cancer, there's just no time to be grammatically correct.
I love you, Fuck Cancer!

I know this is scary as shit. I beat cancer too as an infant. I have one kidney b/c of cancers sorry ass. I do not remember it of course, but I can't imagine going through it as an adult. You'll beat it, your one of the most vibrant people I know. We're glad you caught it in time to take care of it in the most effective way possible. Kick ass...we'll be on the sidelines pulling for you Dana.

Sweet Dana,
ReplyDeleteYou are the lightening rod that will beat this back. I'm envisioning powerful, divine light crackling from your fingers and the top of your head to send this on its way. You are already off to a great start by not calling it 'my cancer'. DO NOT OWN IT. It is not yours, it does not define Dana. None of us will let it. It's just the radio-active spider bite that will make you a super-hero! xxooo Love Nancy
Danes favorite thing about Detroit? DBC. Dana Beats (the shit out of) Cancer!
ReplyDeleteGrammar is totally overrated. Just bring it. That's all that counts.

I'm pretty sure that there is a lot of people waiting for black friday 2013, and I am one of them. In this year I am plaining to own a Kindle Fire HDX. However I don't like shopping at local shop since It's very crow at this day. So I will find some <a href="http://topbestblackfridaydeals.com
