If you can't be honest with yourself now, when can you be? Throughout life how many times do you look in the mirror while shaving or putting on makeup or getting dressed and talked to yourself?
Gee, I look good or I really need to get my haircut or that tan makes me look younger (sexier).
I guess it has occurred thousands of times and most of the time I wasn't even aware of it.
Now a look in the mirror tells a whole new story. In a few seconds the most important parts of my life get played out. The strange part is that two scenarios always occur. The first is Lets Make a Deal. I will do that - if I can have that. I guess that falls into the spiritual side.
The other scene is the one of me looking into the mirror, cursing up a storm and telling the cancer I will kick its ass and it does not know who it is messing with. I guess that's my competitive side.
Either side allows me to win so I will continue to look in the mirror and have those conversations with myself.
I suggest that you do as well, it really makes you feel better
Sorry for missing a day but I look forward to tomorrow.
Mark

Hi Mark,
When we would look at you we'd always see the most handsome boy in the family. Wait! You were the ONLY boy in the family!
Anyway, I posted a couple of responses yesterday but I don't see them so this is basically a test. I think this is a great idea and I'm glad you and Jeremy and Dan are doing it.
Love,
Karen

Hi Mark,
Hope you get this. It's our first time.
What a great idea. If anyone can kick butt, it's you, and with Nicki, Jeremy, Dan and everyone else behind you, you will definitely win this battle. We know it and believe it.
We all look forward to tomorrow.
Love,
Rona and Alan
Dear Mark,
I am following your progress
intently, and have read all your
entries; your indomitable strength
of purpose is inspiring! Your description imagining the drug acting like PacMan on the tumor cells was particularly clever.
The scientific information that Daniel posted certainly seems
to point to pharmacologic results that would be consistent with speedy destruction of the tumor cells. YES!
And the article written by Stephen Jay Gould that Jeremy posted was similarly comforting. Yes, you
are most definitely in the "right-hand" skew!!!
Consider yourself soundly hugged,
Cheryl
Hi Mark,
Glad to be in touch with you and Nicki. This is a great idea. My cousin Lou Pack said he is avaiable to help with his doctors connections, my friend sent blog to Israel to his doctor brother to see what they have, my former lawyer friend e-mailed his doctor clients. You are now going around the world. Hang in there we need our oldest male cousin.
Love ya,
Barbara, Howie, Uncle Joe
Hi Mark,
Ed just let me know about your blog. It is very inspirational. I'm taking on your "kick ass" mentality. It's very powerful and I'm so glad that you have it.
I think of you almost daily and it's so nice to have a way to keep up with your progress.
Love,
Liz
