"...I didn't see a wealthy businessman or a candidate seeking office standing before me. I saw a father and I recognized that look in his eyes, that terrible fear because I've seen that same fear in my own mother's eyes, in my grandma's eyes, in my baby sister's eyes, because I have cancer, too. And let me tell you, it's a bitch. And it's an equal opportunity offender. No amount of money, no amount of privilege can make you exempt. ...And when it chooses you, you're suddenly thrust into a club you didn't choose to join, you're shipped off to war even though you never enlisted in the army, but you have to put on your armor anyway, and know that if you are lucky, you'll discover new sides of yourself like a will you never knew you had. And you'll get to see new sides of the people who matter the most to you in the world as they wrap you in their warmth and lend you their strength when yours is running low. And then you go off, you fight, you fight like hell because, really, what other choice do you have?"
-Chasing Life
...So did anyone else sob their way through the latest episode of Chasing Life? I needed to share this quote with you before I forget about it. I'm heading back to NYC on Thursday for updated scans and an oncologist visit. May was my last infusion so this will be the first set of scans I've had post completion of the 3 year clinical trial. Fingers crossed it's a completely boring visit.
Hope you're all well. I'll update soon, I promise.

Chelsea... Obviously the following won't help you much, but I hope it may help a few men that you may know. I hate that any of this is happening to you all and anyone else. I hope that what I tell you now can help someone suffering. There are huge lawsuits being filed against manufacturers of ed medications such as viagra. Harvard studies show the risks of men for getting melanoma nearly double. Attorneys are taking cases and fighting for men's compensation, even if they only took just one pill. You can learn more and reach attorneys specializing in the case here:
