This morning my Uncle Jim went to the doctor for radiation treatments. The doctor said, "Um, Jim? There's nothing here to radiate. Do you have pain anywhere?" My uncle said he didn't, and in fact he's gained a bunch of weight and he's even gotten out of the house a little. The doctor said, "Well, go see your oncologist, but I've never seen anything like this." Isn't that GREAT NEWS!? I hate to bring up the phrase "grinning like a possum eatin' shit off a hairbrush" again, but come on!

My family and friends have been adversely affected by this shitty disease just like everyone else's...it is very uplifting to hear of someone apparently kicking cancer's ass for a change. Thoughts and prayers...don't give up the fight, Uncle Jim.

Zippee! It's funny. I was thinking about this very topic this very morning (I have an oncologist check up this week)but I was afraid to ask because you hadn't said anything about it for awhile...
I must have conjured it all. *magical jazz hands*
Congrats!

Shut UP! (said in a totally loving way, you understand). That is fundamentally amazing. Really, really, really hoping that the oncologist agrees with the (brilliant) radiologist ...
