I'm sure that most all of you dont know but I was diagnosed with Ewings Sarcoma, which is a rare bone cancer, last new years eve. And worse off the tumor was located in my skull ( I was the 13th reported case since 1960 or something) and grew into my eyesocket and attached to the brain lining. Anyhoo they ripped it out through the side of my headclick here and I have been going through intense chemotherapy since the middle of January which consists of 6 really nasty drugs. Well the doc told me today that I am done with the worst drug! 
So now I only have to take 5
As if that wasnt enough good news for one day he continued on about my treatment... Currently (or up to this point) I was alternating between 3 and 5 DAY treatments on a three week cycle (1 week on, 2 off)--thats 120hrs of sitting in a hospital room hooked up to a loud, annoying pump with nurses coming in every 1-2 hrs and not being able to eat anything I guess that they talked w/ my insurance company about only running 12 hrs or chemo a day so I could go home at night and they OK'd it!
So I have been smiling for about 8 hours now and just thought I'd share. No matter how bad it looks or is, good things can still happen.
