  Oh crap John!
Know we are all behind you for sure!
Chemo wasn't my favorite thing..But anything that helps 
is worthwhile.
What no one seems to mention is that chemo has  
distinctly psychedelic
effects and can be weirdly entertaining.
  Cultivating a black sense of humor helped me through it...
But then it didn't take much cultivation on my part.
Smoking pot was the only thing that helped the nausea for 
me back then;
But i'm told the drugs are better now.
It's a weird game of poisoning you and the cancer, till 
the cancer dies.
The irony of the relative immortality of cancer cells, 
rings loud.
Being a smith, oddly equips you to tolerate the cancer 
dance, you'll find.
Don't hesitate to wield the word " cancer"..It can cut 
right through huge piles
of red tape, nuisance and triviality.
Get out there and kick it's butt!
We want you around for the long term....
