When I was diagnosed with the mighty MM I immediately told family and friends that if you are going to cry, do it somewhere else. I don't want to see it or hear it. It has worked well for me but every once in a while, the tears do come to surface. <br />My mantra is "I might have cancer, but cancer does NOT have me&Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01690611279777195788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8579852724867771009.post-41461619389832314002010-09-13T14:28:06.897-05:002010-09-13T14:28:06.897-05:00Hi, all!

Margaret, Sid, Denise, Karen, Paula, Dom and Nan, Lorna and Micky - I've been reading your blogs for a long time - good to hear from you.<br /><br />You are right - laughter and well-placed humor are, indeed, good medicine.

Tim almost died at 43 and our daughter was only 8 years old. Then, when it looked like he was going to pull out of the strep sepsis, they told us he had MM.Then we found out that it was uncurable(which I don't believe now). Oh, and we had just bought a 2 family house and tim's wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08605449376728668764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8579852724867771009.post-11486494169391155542010-09-11T07:42:54.630-05:002010-09-11T07:42:54.630-05:00WTF was that!
