"We caught it in time and it hasnt metastasized!" We chatted for a few hours! When she called me....STILL she was more worried about how I was Doing, with MS! It had been a while since we talked, because I, well I dont really know why? I didnt want to be a downer, am borderline introvert, No news is good news? She had to call my mother...I dont even know where my phone is. WTF! OK... CANCER???? Meet Samoan BAD ASS!!!!! A funny- I always resort to smatarsedness, joking to cope with issues that make me uncomfortable...."Look at it this way! If you do lose your hair(she hasn't yet to her surprise) Imagine how much scarier you will be!" She laughed so hard, I felt guilty...had a coughing fit.She had only said "Diagnosed with cancer"...lots of possibilities.. "You quit smoking yet?" "D#$@ it Parsons, I am trying! CORRECT AGAIN! How do you do that? Yeah, Cigarettes got me!" If any one can soldier thru this crap, my money is on Betty! I didnt pick up the slightest sense of despair
