IS THE BEST MEDICINE...
Cancer: the power of humor
This will prove to be a key factor in Carol's treatment, recovery and further remission.
Carol and Randy have lived their lives with love and laughter. Randy in describing their kids..."the apple does not not fall far from the tree..". The kids are just as witty and comical as their parents.
On the lighter side, we need to share a few frivolous thoughts and experiences to help Carol and Randy ...
I'm immediately reminded of Carol's words after she told me about her recent diagnosis "I'll be holding off on the boo... job."
Randy... "when handed lemons, we make lemonade."
Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion. I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward.
-- Kurt Vonnegut
I've always thought that a big laugh is a really loud noise from the soul saying, "Ain't that the truth."
-- Quincy Jones
Seven days without laughter makes one weak.
-- Mort Walker
Laughter is a tranquilizer with no side effects.
-- Arnold Glasow
Sharing a laugh or story is a great way to inspire. I encourage folks to post in comments for Randy, Carol and kids. A small way to bring us together. A smile alone will provide great relief to all.
Bring it on...
After 5 years in remission from breast cancer, on March 28th Carol was diagnosed with a tumor on her spine. The cancer is also showing up in several spots on her bones. She completed 14 days of daily radiation to shrink the tumor. It has helped diminish the extreme pain. This Blog has been set up to give Carol's friends and family a way to keep updated on her health. We can share the many ways to help and to communicate with her.

NEW ... For the New Year 2012 the D's felt some frozen meals again would be very helpful. The meals she received over the spring and summer have only recently been used up and she commented how helpful they were at the end of long or busy day.
On behalf of Carol and Randy~ Thanks for the support!
