Lost a classmate this week. Not one I was best friends with but you go k-12 with someone and your class only graduated 42 your still friends. Makes you fell alittle less bullet proof seeing it with someone you personally know. Her son is about the same age I was when I lost my mom and she has a younger daughter. Really feel bad for them.

Hey man. They say if we all lived long enough cancer would get us all.

Cancer sucks because few us of DO NOT have an emotional relation with cancer. You have an uncle, cousin, mom, friend or your friend's child. You know someone close to you with cancer.

For what little it's worth, for anyone who dealing with cancer in the St. Louis area, or literally as a Cardinal fan, please contact me. Triply so if you're dealing with childhood cancer of any sort.

I posted on FB that my no. 1 hope for the new year is a major advance in cancer treatment in 2017 (not for me, for friends, etc). Today, found out that my friend with non-Hodgkins lymphoma is cancer-free after four chemo treatments! Still crossing my fingers for my friend with breast cancer that won't know more until surgery on the 9th. Hoping this is a good omen!

In the last two weeks two girls I went to high school with have found out they have breast cancer. One just told me about it today. She's pretty scared as it sounds like it's pretty advanced. She has two litte girls and a husband. It's crazy to me that a 35 year old mother of two has to fight for her life.
