Morning! I went to my Doctor today. He said I was doing "fine" ... considering. I gained 10 pounds, thanks to the "munchies." I think he's worried about my increasing headaches. All in all, I get a passing grade this time.
It's weird going into the offices and seeing some of my old chemo friends. You say hello and wonder if this is the last time you'll see them. Some look good, some terrible. You lie and tell them how good they look. They know you lied, but they just smile back and say thanks.
The heat of the morning has worn me out. I have to lie down.
Peace and Love to all! Mark
My name is Mark. This is my website. That might sound selfish, but I believe I am entitled to be selfish. Brain Cancer is killing me. I have 12 to 18 months to live. I want to share my thoughts, feelings, fears and anger with you. Maybe it will be enlightening and inspiring to you. I will attempt to daily up-date my struggle, sharing the bad days and the good. If you join me on my journey, perhaps I will feel less alone and afraid as the cancer destroys more and more of me every day.
Mark's Bucket List
Mark wanted to meet Jimmy Buffet, return to Hawaii one last time and see his father once more. While these didn't happen for him, he still had hopes and dreams . . .I do. Do you?

We never know if we'll see each other again. Going to an oncologist's office makes it that much more real. What a great reminder of saying what we need to say this moment!
So, today I say, thank you, Mark and Rebecca, for sharing this time of your life with me. It has been fun to connect even from a distance. With much love and appreciation, Carol
HAPPY FRIDAY Mark and Rebecca~
praying for you both
Never give up ya'll,

HEY MARK AND REBECCA, I'm way behind on reading. Glad you gained some weight. NEVER GIVE UP.
