  11. You know girl, it took a lot of courage and laughter to do that post. I loved every bit of it, although I have to admit I had to wipe away a tear or two. Love your family, they are as crazy as mine. I have NO doubt, you will kick the tumor butt right out of the ballpark girl! Take care!

  19. I have a real dilemma. I can't think of anything funny or cool to say .

    So I will say what is in my heart.

    I am proud to know you.

    Oh and this:

    You're kicking ass and taking names.

  20. You are following in a fine tradition Cher. Just before jumping on D-Day a couple of platoons of airborne troops shaved their heads in Mohawks. They donned war paint and gave indain style whoops and war crys. A couple had planned ahead and even had tommahawks.
    Word is the Germans saw them and thought Apachies were being turned loose on them. OK, so Hollywood movies gave a mixed message.
    The Germans took one look at them and were terrified if killed or captured...they didn't want to think about it.
    Maybe you can scare the tumors the same way. I wouldn't want to tangle with you.

    Seriously,go for it, girl! You can beat this thing!!!!!!!!!!

  22. Girlfriend...you are SOOOOOO funny! Love that hair do...but, I think I would color it "lime green". After all, you are not the type to "follow trends" and go pink! ;0

    Hope to see you soon...xo...deb

  31. I was googling an airplane (RV-1 Mohawk) and found an image of you with your grandson. It brought tears to my eyes...

    My father's hair fell out a few weeks ago due to his ratiation treatment, so it tugged at my heart.

    I know we don't know each-other but I wish you the best. The pictures tell a wonderful family story and I pray for success in your treatment.

    By the way, that mohawk is awesome!

    Good luck :)
