Wow. One week. It seems like forever since I found out I have cancer, and it also feels like it has been no time at all. I feel like I’ve talked to everyone under the sun about it in detail now. I also feel like I’m moving just as fast as I can just to stay afloat. I spoke with Greg Phillips today – he had colon cancer in the descending colon, and had to go through surgery and 6 months of chemo. Makes my 5 weeks look like nothing. He teared up when I told him, and said that he felt incredibly sorry for what I have yet to go through. He also explained a lot of the fun I can look forward to with chemo – the constipation, the runs, the nausea, the fatigue, and the deadening of some of my nerves (yippee!). I think this is going to be a bit tougher than I realize.
Things to remember: I have more friends than I think I do. People are basically good hearted trying to do good in the world.

Tomorrow starts the second week of the rest of my life.
