This is my blog about my cancer ("my cancer," like it's a pet or a hobby). I'm starting it because I'm fairly lazy and repeating the same stories over and over as friends and family ask about the latest development seems really inefficient. This also gives everyone access to the same source material, thus minimizing the "telephone" problem. We'll see if it works and how long I bother to keep it up...

Is It the Years or the Mileage?
Indiana Jones famously said, "It's not the years... it's the mileage." I now have definitive (i.e., photographic) proof that in my case it's totally the years...

Nothing like now and then photos to highlight the obvious. You can kid yourself about how much you're changing when you only see yourself briefly in the mirror when you're brushing your teeth, but photos are pretty hard to deny. I already knew it to be true, but 2015 will definitely not go down as my favorite year. And while I'd (more or less) come to grips with my chemo-inspired hairlessness, I've now pretty much completely lost that grip. I want my hair back. But I suppose that's what I get for looking through my picture files. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
Fair point, but they have been more "little old lady from Pasadena miles" than "we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses" miles. :-)
Although, to be fair, you have put on a fair number of miles in the past year.
