I like the idea of getting you comfortable before the MRI, Bill, because that can be pretty tedious and painful, as I'm sure you know. So that's a solid plan. Just try to relax (lol).
Funny how kids grow up right in front of your very eyes. I think sometimes we forget that they have other sources of information--friends and other people they know who know about cancer, the Internet, etc. I'm sometimes surprised when I get that extra tight hug from my daughter or that unexpected phone call. I'm guessing she got a reality check from somewhere. That's OK--that's how they learn a lot about sex, too, and that's fine with me.
So, I managed to cover sex and drugs and cancer in one short post.
