Hi everyone!  I just got home from my Dallas vacation and I am feeling more prepared than usual for chemo tomorrow.  It was so nice to get out of Houston for so long!  After tomorrow I will have finished 5 months of chemo!  Thats nearly half a year...I can hardly believe it!  It doesn't seem like it has been that long...probably because chemo has killed some of the memory cells in my brain :) 
After all the complaining I have done on here I thought it would be nice to post a list of the top 10 things I like about having cancer and/or chemo, so here I go:
10) Money saved on shampoo and conditioner
9) Excuse to not do housework
8) My mom has to let me sleep as late as I want and cannot call me lazy
7) Don't have to shave my legs
6) Macaroni and Cheese
5) Getting nice cards/webposts from family and friends
4) T-shirts and Sweatpants
3) I can freely make bets with people where the loser has to shave his or her head
2) I've seen more movies than Roger Ebert
1) Getting to say "I'm kicking cancer's ASS!"

And for those who don't know, I am now officially 22 years old.  Here are a few reasons having cancer on your birthday is not as bad as you may think:
*I am now only 48 years younger than my oncologist's other patients
*I got to eat as much cake as I wanted and no one could say anything (Hey, it was the only thing that wasn't making my stomach hurt!)
Yeah, thats all I got...cancer birthdays aren't too much fun.  I'll have to party extra-hard next year to make up for it.

I'll post tomorrow about chemo #10
