Momupdate
For those of you who have asked, my mom called today after her bone scan and she is CANCER FREE!! Woohoo. Her doctor said she should go home and drink 10 beers. Any doctor who advocates binge drinking in the face of cancer is a-OK with me. As my mom pointed out yesterday, both of my parents have had non-hereditary cancer, which has to be oddswise, well, odd.
In response I am getting my mom one of these Fuck Cancer bracelets. I don’t think she’d wear the tshirts, but I am thinking of getting one myself.

Congratulations! Yay for your mom!!!! I will also drink 10 beers, both to celebrate and as a sign of solidarity. Drinking against cancer…so much more meaningful than a pink ribbon.

Yeah there should be drinking contests that raise money for cancer research…

Awesome news! I’ll drink 10 beers, too, for your mom but it’ll take me a while. But that just means the celebration lasts longer.

yeah maybe if we all drink ONE beer then my mom can make up the difference.

wow, so I don’t read people’s blogs much. I guess I should… Sorry to hear that this was happening, but glad to hear that it is over! I don’t really like most beer, so I will drink a gin and tonic instead!
