cancer humor.

While cancer is certainly no laughing matter, we find that the ability to laugh is part of the success. We would like to share some humor from our first week of Health Camp:

On Monday at noon, Mike was getting ready to leave work for UNMC for his first treatment. While he clocked out he was applying some chapstick. Scotty said "That's not going to help." Nephew Cole added "Yeah, you need like SPF 1000."

Mike's favorite thing to say on Tuesday (to anyone who would listen) was "Today is #2... and it feels like #2." Smile. He added that Wednesday would be the 'turd' treatment

Then we have sister Melinda who wrote a poem in honor of today. It is entitled "27 Treatments to Go - 9/21/11"

There once was a guy named Mike... who loved to ride his bike.

He pedaled all the way to the city... for a little radiation-ditty.

Twenty-seven treatments to go... but we can have fun, you know.

So as you guessed, this rhyme is not done. I'll be adding to it until the battle is won!

xxoo, Melinda
