Rather a drink of Absolute


A little bit of science on a Sunday morning... Did you know that if cancer cells are growing incredibly fast, they are considered disorganized and an easy target from chemo and radiation? In my case that is the tactic we are going after. Since we are pretty sure that it wasn't there 3 months ago, the working theory is that chemotherapy will destabilize the growth cycle the cells and the radiation will kill them as they try to divide.

For someone who craves order it is interesting to have to put my hope in chaotic cell division!

Hi Mima,
We know just what you mean re: mothers speaking on parallel paths. Hope all goes well and the chemo/radiation zaps those cells.
Love toPaul.
