Dad

Talked to Dad yesterday. The pathology results are in from the removal of his bladder cancer several days ago. He does not need chemo! Woohoo! He sent me a copy of his path report, "since you can make more sense of this than I can." He has papillary urothelial carcinoma, low grade, stage pTa. Of course I knew immediately that this is one of the more desirable types of bladder cancer, and his cure rate is at around 90%. (Nah, I didn't. But Google did.)

So YAY!!!!!!!!

As is typical for cancer patients and survivors, the diagnostic tests will test your fortitude more than the disease itself. He's going to have cystoscopies every three months for a while. *cringe* Of course this is the guy who said he had "no discomfort at all" after bladder surgery. He's a stone, I tell ya'.

Seriously Random Questions Meme

1. Your ex is on the side of the road, on fire. What do you do?
Holy Moses. On fire? Uh, yes I would put the fire out and call 911.

2. Your best friend tells you she is pregnant. What is your reaction?
I have a few best friends, and my reaction to any of them being pregnant would be shock and horror. Although it would be tons of fun to babysit... if I'm not hanging out in San Juan or Vegas or...

3. When is the last time you wanted to punch someone in the face?
People like OJ Simpson and Joran Van der Sloot get me riled up. The ones who commit unspeakable atrocities and think they can get away with them. I've only wanted to punch people on the news in the face, never someone with whom I've had personal contact- even that rude cheer mom at the Frisco competition a few years ago. I wanted to physically remove her from the line, but not to beat the crap out of her.
