A Humorous Look at the Bright Side of Cancer... and There Is One

From The Devil To A Demon

If Adriamycin is considered the “Red Devil,” the new Taxol is a demon.

I have a new-found respect for the older generation; since beginning Taxol, I feel like an old lady. My body aches all over and I have pain medicine lined up on my bedside table, even though I don’t always resort to taking it.

An excellent writer named Phyllis once detailed how when she drops something on the floor, she waits until at least three items have piled up, and then she scoops them up all at once. I can relate to Phyllis.

Once a work-a-holic… now I am a sleep-a-holic. I consider it a great accomplishment when I make a batch of pumpkin cream cheese muffins for the kids’ lunches and manage to teach two piano lessons in a whole day. In my prior life, that would have been a piece of cake.

I guess I need to look on the bright side. I have a house to live in and food to eat: those pumpkin cream cheese muffins are mighty fine.

  1. Everything that I’m reading and hearing today is making me hungry! I think it’s a plot. You’re in on it, aren’t you? Those pumpkin cream cheese muffins sound amazing right about now. So you have those to eat, and a house to live in, said house featuring a brand-new bathroom!

    You continue to be in our prayers.

  2. Hey Vern,
    Glad Thursday went so well for you with your visit to Holly…keep up the positive attitute! It’s inspiring!

  3. Abel,

    I keep finding these comments you’re leaving me all over the place and I never seem to respond.

    The Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins are delicious, if I do say so myself. Michaela Stewart has been known to come into our house and help herself to the freezer where I usually have them, whether we’re home or not.

    I still love my bathroom and can hardly wait for our new kitchen.

    -Marie
