If you are required to drink barium before scans, keep your nose plugged and chug it down to ensure a clear scan.

My husband did six months of chemo for colon cancer in 2010-2011. It wasn't the complete nightmare we expected and dreaded, but he did have a bout of "chemo brain." With all the love and support you have, I just know that all will go well.

I am so sorry to hear, but believe you can pull through. I really, truly hope you do well and have many happy, wonderful years to share with your family, and us. I do have to confess that you were a roll model that convinced me to go to law school rather than keep blogging.

You are an incredibly resourceful person. My rules for you: make no big demands on yourself -- vegging is allowed;take advantage of all those tricks you have shared -- like coloring with colored pencils in those Heller books or have the Peanut read to you from the Blue Fairy book (I am the mystery grantor!). You will do ok.
