The Cancer Card (a new uke tune!)

It’s really, really odd to have boob cancer as your muse…but here’s another tune with Lucille and a very special guest – my husband, Luke! He’s a champ and a half times infinity:

Y’all have been so sweet with your continued good thoughts and juju and gifts and cards and donations and “how are ya?”s. As a quick update, I’m not sure yet exactly when my treatment will start, but it’ll definitely consist of 4 rounds of chemo (one every 3 weeks) and 6 weeks of radiation. Yes, it’s not gonna be fun, but it really is honestly The Best of the Worst, and I might even get to keep my hair! Promise to let ya know more as soon as my plan’s in place and I have a definitive timeline. ‘Til then, I’ll keep writin’ and strummin’!

I so admire your ability to see the positive side of anything and laugh (and sing) about it! Boob cancer really didn't know what it was going to have to fight against, did it? (Don't worry, Luke, we all know she is going to kick that cancer card to the curb!)

So when this is all said and done, you can flash the survivor card!

BTW, is that a Jess Swift necklace?

You’re right, Andi – it didn’t know who it was messing with at all!

And I’ve decided that Luke can use The Cancer Card, too. He’ll definitely be getting his own Kindle Fire!

Hell yes! The good thing about The Cancer Card is that it doesn’t expire (although Luke feels differently)

And YES it ’tis a Jess Swift necklace! She collaborated with my Mom to make it custom for me (it says “Peace” on the other side). Love that girl (and my Mom)! Everyone can see her necklaces here: http://www.jessicaswift.com/accessories/necklaces

Yeah, what she said! Seriously, thanks Andi. And I've decided that The Cancer Card extends to Luke, too – so we're even-ish.

You have the best eye/Jess' stuff is so recognizable! Yes, it's a custom necklace (she worked with my Mom on it for my birthday!) with the word "Peace" on the back. You can see her collection here: http://www.jessicaswift.com/accessories/necklaces

Thanks Patty! Will keep 'em coming!

Yeah. We make people throw up wherever we go
