I've been Huffing again.
No, not the nasty drug habit of inhaling pollutants and carcinogens. I'm Huffing for the Post. Check out my latest piece for The Huffington Post at:

But this isn't why I've been quiet.
After almost five years of treatment, I'm still a cheap date. The 0.5 mg of Xanax I had to take at 6:15 yesterday morning so my brown fat didn't interfere with the results of my PET scan knocked me into Weds. am, literally.
I woke up just enough to get food, drinks, medications, or go to the bathroom. Beyond any of those activities, I was sleeping. I did manage to watch some teen jeopardy with Xander for a while, but that's the only bonding time we've had.
Now, for the official announcement, Hillary's internal pity party is over! Absolutely over. In The Anticancer, one study of mice showed those that feel helpless and have no hope of overcoming this helplessness have higher death rates from the same amount of injected cancer as mice that can overcome a helpless obstacle or have no obstacle to overcome.
In fact, the mice that overcome the seemingly impossible obstacle have higher cure rates than all groups.
Hoo-ra! I know which group I want in on.
That's why I'm advocating. That is why I'm writing. That's why I'm selling jewelry. I'm doing everything I can to feel powerful over my circumstances. I want to feel powerful over my disease.
I have an appointment with Dr. G on Friday and a pending appointment with Dr. Alyea in Boston on Monday. I'm hoping I won't have to go to Boston Monday, but we'll see what life brings.
Thanks for all the love and support. I'm off to do some school vacation bonding with X.
