So here we go. In about an hour, a friend comes to take me out to breakfast (though I must confess to not much of an appetite), then I go to the Vince Lombardi Cancer Clinic for bloodwork, the I meet with my onc to discuss my CT results. I'm not really sure I'm processing anything very well at the moment (right now I just want to pull the sheets over my head and go back to sleep). I'll probably be all babbly at breakfast and order chemo-eggs with cancer-bacon or something. But you know what? Screw it if I do. The time has come (the walrus said), to talk of many things. Serious things. Possibly life-altering things. So enough screwin' around. I wants to get my results on, yo! Ah, nervous, loopy Starbuck. A mixture of Lewis Carroll and Jay-Z.
At any rate, wish me luck! I'll also be thinking of and wishing the best for Eric and Bill as I fidget my way to the appointment.
So c'mon results! Show me what ya got!
Much love to all (especially all of you having a tough time, and to Eric and Bill),
Starbuck
well... wish me luck!

You really get to go to the "Vince Lombardi Cancer Center"? Doesn't reading the name on the building just pump you up! Good Luck! Wishing the best news for you - that they found nothing on that dumb old CT scan!
