The world keeps turning.

It's been almost a week, but a lot has happened.

I had biopsies done two days ago.  I fretted a lot, and I was really scared, but I made it.  The tough part now is waiting for results.  I just have to be strong, and remember that no matter what the tests say, I will fight... until I can fight no more, or until I win.

By now everyone should know Steve Cannon by name, at least if they've looked at my blog.  Two days ago, the day I had my biopsies done, Steve's uncle was diagnosed with stomach cancer.  It's such a small world, and in some ways, a very cruel one.  I'm sure Steve would appreciate those unfamiliar to check out the log of his journey:  http://www.theruntocurecancer.com

Something else has been slightly grating my nerves the past couple of days.  Lots of Justin Bieber fans have suddenly joined the "cancer" bandwagon because he has been giving attention to a 6 year-old fan who's dying of a rare childhood cancer.  While it's great he's doing this, he's done things like kiss her "on the lips," gave her an engagement ring, and is calling her "Mrs. Bieber."  You know what I'd like to see?  I'd like to see him donate a boatload of money to cancer research himself, rather than focusing on publicity stunts.  I'd also like to see his fans learn something about what is really happening to this little girl, not just making statements like, "she can't die, it would break Justin's heart!"  Is this ALL about Justin?  Really?  I'm glad Justin himself is trying to make this little girl happy, but there is so much more that could be done here...

I guess maybe that was a little bit ranty, and I apologize.  I'm sure I will have more to say soon, but for now, please send positive thoughts, vibes, or prayers to Steve, his uncle, and everyone else you know who's in a fight.
