Hi everyone.  This post is not for me, but for a friend of mine.  You may have read his reply to my last post telling me that he just found out that he has cancer.  His name is Jamie, he is the same age as me, and up until this past week he was in Ole Miss Law School (he had to withdraw).  On Thursday he found out he had a cancerous tumor next to his intestines.  I do not know too many details, but I do know that he is having surgery to remove it this Wednesday.  I am posting this to ask everyone to pray for him: for his safe surgery, that the cancer hasn't spread, and that once the tumor is removed he will be cured.  Thanks everyone.

Well, I havn't posted in a while.  The good news is: I am still alive.  The bad news is: I am still getting chemo. 

Yes, you read right, my doctor decided my body hasn't had enough yummy chemo meds so I am in to month 7.  We are going month by month now.  After chemo #14 I will have another catscan to see if my tumor has shrunken any more.  If it has, I will have more chemo- if it hasn't then I will move on to radiation.

So I am back to the same old sitting around doing nothing.  I am also going to have to be under semi-house arrest for the next few months because of the flu shot shortage.  It wont do me any good to have one because the chemo will kill it, but since there is a shortage more people than usual are going to get the flu and if I catch it I will have to be hospitalized.  So I have to avoid human contact and wash my hands every 30 minutes.

I'll post more later!
