Universe, don't make me come up there!
No more crappy things are allowed to happen! Not for a long time! I'm putting my foot down! I just got a couple of emails and a phone call about our dear friend Jon- this is the guy who set the two of us up on our fateful blind date, who we plan on giving a special seat at our wedding, whose own beautiful wedding to our friend P we just attended a few weeks ago. At a routine physical a couple of days ago, an abnormality was discovered indicating that he has testicular cancer. He was under CT scan yesterday and in surgery today, they're trying to see if it has spread anywhere else, family is coming in from all over the place, and the newlyweds are sorting through all the emotional weight of it while struggling through insurance papers. Damn it, Universe- this is not ok! Jon gets better right away and no more of this crap or else! Off to make some reheatable meals...

Oh I am so sorry for Jon and his partner.
My vet (and very good friend) was dxed with testicular cancer about 3.5 years ago. He did end up having a castration (and joked that it was only appropriate after all the animals he had neutered) and a stem cell transplant after it spread to his brain (direct link between the brain and the groin, here is your proof. Another one of his jokes). But, more tahn 2 years after that, no signs of any cancer. His doctors were certain he wouldn't make it, but he is a-okay.
So, it's not a death sentence. Hell, maybe Jon will take up long distance biking now ;)
Hugs to you. The Universe is indeed a spiteful bitch.
Hilarious. Thank you- there's not nearly enough hilarity around here! That's funny about the long-distance biking- it's his favorite hobby! Anyway, it looks like he'll be ok- no spreading and a successful surgery from which he is recovering nicely. We're chanting our little hearts out! Nam-myoho-rengay-kyo (pardon my spelling). -Kate-
