December 3, 2004 I have finally started the process I got my catheter in and tommorow I start the chemo.  Along time coming and as much as it wont be a day at the beach at least the "Big Tops Coming Down and the Circus is Over", The catheter is slightly annoying I must say. But as I have said before I look at who I am surrounded by and those I have encountered how lucky am I? Ill definitely just grin and bear it.  I amongst my contemporaries and I have yet to hear anyone complain.  There are many much worse off then I am and realize it.  I am surrounded by fighters and survivors if every sense its humbling.  I am off to watch some TV.  God Bless
