My latest blog post, where I muse about the importance of being able to envision a future after treatment, or more specifically, after chemotherapy while on maintenance treatment.

Please, no need to brag, I'm already feeling insecure about my iddy biddy man-boobs. Might need to start stuffing my man-bra :-)

Coins tend to be cold, unless you wrap them in socks.

Depends on the feet. I would add if it's with feet, make sure ALL the toenails are trimmed!

1st thing done for my GL10 was to remove the balls. Fastest 10 pound weight loss in my life. Even the pathologist remarked on his report, "I can now confirm that 10 pounds of balls can fit in a 5 pound sack!!!"

Tom great post! All of you guys are funny and wonderful. I’m glad I’ve gotten to meet you all through this unfortunate circumstance. Seeing all of you as well as my dad go through this I’ve learned a lot. A lot about what it is to be human and a man. A big hug and a handshake to you all!

Exactly why I mentioned it. Laugh out loud til you pop your port at some scenes. Keep laughing.

Enjoying reading your blog...very inspiring especially when you are going thru a relatively 'tough' treatment regime. Your positive and humorous approach to the treatment will see you well. You have my utmost respect. God bless
