The Good and The Bad

[cabenson]

Mom just e-mailed...her biopsies came back negative. Thank God and thanks to everyone that said a prayer.

While this is great news, my dad called yesterday to tell me that my 40 yr old cousin has mouth cancer and it may have already spread to his bones. I just saw him a few weeks ago at a small reunion and we were talking about how lucky our family was that everyone seemed healthy. I guess we jinxed ourselves.

Well, I am very happy to hear your Mom is free and clear.
I am sorry about your cousin. I hope they have caught it on time.
Do you believe in jinxes?
I thing things just happen.

I'm hoping they have caught his in time...he's a good guy for being a red-neck.

Sometimes I do believe in jinxes but mostly I believe that things hapen and there is usually a reason for it, even if I can't see it.

Thank God your mom is okay. Sorry to hear about your cousin though. I can't think of a worse place to get cancer....well maybe your asshole.

I'm very glad to hear about your Mom. Hopefully you'll have some good news about your cousin to balance out the bad news.

Whew...glad your mom is okay, but I am very sorry about your cousin. (Jesus...mouth cancer? Does he smoke?)

[cabenson.livejournal.com]

Thanks.
I am not sure if he smokes because that side of the family "hides" their vices-no alcohol, tobacco, broads, bad language were present at any family gatherings. That's why I never quite felt comfortable at gatherings ;)

But if I remember correctly, he dipped snuff (he's a red neck prison guard)and chewing tobacco is WAY bad for you. That's whay I stopped using it. That and the brown teeth.
