one of these days I swear I'm going to track cancer down, stand on its throat, and totally kick the crap out of it with my early 90's steel-toed boots.
It's making its dirty rounds around here again, taking friends and parents of friends.
I feel like the experience I went through losing my mom to it is made a little more bearable when I take what I've learned and help others. So, that's where I am and what I'm doing.
I'll be back in a day or two.
And if you happen to see cancer--you better tell it to watch its back. There's a very angry mother in boots coming after it.

Step on its throat for me.
You go get him...he took my sis in love when she was just 34 years old, with no history of breast cancer in the family. UGH!
my friends sweet 2 year old baby girl has cancer. we're very hopeful-
Ugghhh...I'm sorry.Do I know this person? Cancer is certainly an evil of this world.
Elena--
I don't think you know these people. Two sweet families are affected. One is one of my favorite ladies ever from church. She's down to her last two weeks. The other man passed away yesterday. His son is a friend of mine. The irony there was that the friend had cancer as a child, and the dad saw him go through it and live...and now the son had to watch the father endure the same thing, but not make it.
Can you imagine the awesome (in a scary way) kind of weapon we could make if we could figure out how to harnass the power of cancer? *shudder*
Yes, I hope you track it down and stomp on it. One of my good friends is going through her last stages of breast cancer with 4 little kids. It's so terrible and unfair.
XOXO

I've been watching a little 8 year old girl battle a brain tumor. my girls did a cupcake fundraiser to help raise money for treatment in April. Kaitlyn goes in today for a follow up to make sure she's still looking ok and I miss my mommy. I will practice my kung foo moves and be there to help.
I have some boots. Can I join the fight, too?
Every one knows you should be VERY afraid of a group of angry mothers. So what I don't understand is why Cancer is still here. As many angry mothers that are after it.......it should be DEAD!!!!!
There is a camaraderie between those who've been knocked down by cancer, but all in all, it's a club I certainly wish I wasn't a part of. DH just finished his last round of chemotherapy for testicular cancer. His prognosis is good...but even when you think it's gone, there's always that fear that maybe it's not. Cancer is relentless.
All 7 kids and I will polish our steel toed boots, inscribe "This is for Daddy" and stomp away! Oh how good that would feel, really good. It's been almost 7 months now and it still feels like it was yesterday. Cancer is definately on my list.
I'll be busting out my boots too. Cancer took my grandpa way too soon. However, my father-in-law stomped out his thyroid cancer thus far.
Praise God!
You are in our daily prayers sweet lady.
Oh No! Hugs. If I see cancer, I'll tell him to beat a hasty retreat!
If you find him, give him a good swift kick from me too.
My mom was diagnosed a few years back, and as of now she's fully recovered, but we're all quietly afraid that it will come back.
[Adorable blog, btw. :)]
I'll help you. Just let me find some steel-toed boots.
So sorry.
How true...cancer is one scary thing. My prayers are always with folks suffering and their family and friends!!!
Thoughts with you as well.... :)
Cancer sucks, it's terrible terrible and I'm sorry to hear about your friends.
I want to kick its rear as well.
you can kick it in the _____ for me! I am not a fan of it.
I'm with you on that call, and if you see Parkinson kick him in the groin for me once, would you?!?
