Moving on
Thanks for all the wonderful notes, cards, and emails about Miriam.
It deeply helped me and my family through a rough time.
Now I am working on a comic speech on leukemia for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Conference in Niagara Falls.
As usual I have left things to the last moment, and no surprise here: It is not easy to be funny about cancer.
But it is possible.
I feel a bit schitzy as I am torn between trying to go for the patients' and doctors' heart and teach others what I have learned, and trying to go for the audience's funny bones and have some fun at my own expense. And while I'm at it, throw a few good natured barbs at the CLL experts.
Well, back to work.

Just came across your blog ... I've added myself as a follower.
I believe levity is always a welcome relief to the topic of our illnesses.
I even got my onc to laugh at this one. As part of my second cycle, allopurinol was given and I developed a reaction to it which caused a rash to form over my whole face. Adding a little drool to this sight proved useful in early boarding for flights and evoked much kindness from fellow passengers as evidenced by them not sitting near me!
