thursday, at the canyon, dry hot and quiet. sitting in lori and scott's apt, peg is having a snack and i feel decent. decent, and as well as a guy should feel when he's hygenic and hyper-vigilant and hypernoid (?) about his turncoat-traitor body. had a short, non-violent procedure yesterday, two docs put a porta-cath in my manly upper body. look out Arnold, i'm the now the cancernator. gonnna kill you cancer, who's you killer,, yah, u bet=cha.
pegandi took tourist trip wed here, went to the new yavapai musee, took the shuttle to the el tovar, drank a coooooool one and watched the canyon fade to grey. back with friends for food and laughs...a good day after 4 #*^%^&^&* days of not so fun, icky, this is my reality? moments interrpted by " i think the comode is right behind this door...quickly, quickly and then drop back to horizontal
but today and yesterday portend better days behind the grunge and garbage of treatment. next week at the gala wes/lena weddding i suspectd i'll feel happier than a pig in ____, sorry for the midwest image-we just so left the flatland. pegandi found the cooolest threads, can you spell S I L K ? for my bod and i know i'll be the best looking bald guy in maple plain.
can't believe my precious loving son is getting hooked-up, the ring-thing, about to do the I DO - WE DO's. Want you to know tanner, the there are too few words in all languages in this universe, to tell how much i have enjoyed every moment of being your dad, father, role-model (good,bad,confusing) teacher, coffee man, fishing buddy, driving instructor, carpenter guide (watch your head wes!) music critic-wes please play "3rd stone from the sun" when I'm back there, you're my co-poet, my replacement and let's go fishing wes!!! whatcha doing sunday after your wedding? too few words. member= don't be sorry, be nice.
alena, you are the third luckiest person on the planet. peg and i have known him forever as one fine son.
enuf for thursday, tomorrrow round two and the return to rapid recovery before the trip to Mpls.
again thanks to all who take time to post and share with me this odyssey. can't always respond by blog or phone, but each of you sits in a fold of my quiet, warm memory blanket.
love, infinity, marcus

Hey, you cancernator...you gonna kill mo of that stuff tomorrow. Then we'll be meeting up with you in Vegas for a REALLY big show 4th of July. Keep your energy on all the positives and remember to visualize the end of that cancer. Wes's wedding will be a blast, bald or no bald. PK and I talked with him tonight and he sounds so excited with the count down getting cloeser and closer. We're there with you tomorrow (what time???)cuz hearts can reach across the miles to where you are.
Hugs from here to there with all my love,
Jules
Good to hear you are back at the Canyon Looks like the day is almost here, the day you will have your son off to new adventures. Friday is another day on the road and this will pass soon. I know you are fighting hard and you will win. Soon we will be all together on that Plane to the future couple of Fuhrmans. Lets focus these next few days on the joy we will have soon.
Love, PK

I am a lucky girl. For more reasons than I have fingers, toes, elbows, knees, and places in between to count them on.
We went for a beautiful ride down the river on inner tubes with some of our nearest and dearest yesterday. Everyday really is a beautiful one.
Love you guys and can't wait to see you.
xoxo,
alena
Looking forward to seeing you in LV Wed. night. Sounds like the new meds might get you through the "after chemo days" with less yucky stuff...how are you doing?
Looks like we'll head down to SB on Tues to pick up the remaining Mandy stuff then airplane on Wed. Hope you're doing better this round.
Love and hugs,
Jules
Love and many positive vibrations form the Nor-Cal crew. Enjoy the wedding on 7-7-7. I believe the day will bring you much happiness. It always has me. . Cancernator, (or can I just call you "C-tor" ? ) I visualize (i can use that word, I'm from CA), er, see you & Peggy out west here at Basset street, chillin in the back yard after your succesful ridification program !
So onward it is my beloved bro, keep your old hound dog a barkin', and Chase down that hoodoo there.
C-tor, kinda has a nice ring to it :)
Love you Marcus! I always enjoy talking to you about English and students. You have so much to offer and have given so much.
Have a blast at the wedding!
Love, Lori, Scott and Everett
Hey Bro:
Had my phone off ALL DAY.. Duh.. Trying to reach you too... Today? Love ya Mark: Charley
Hey Mr. "Eff,"
Chemotherapy: $$$. Chemotherapy on a teacher's salary: $$$$$$. Knowing that those you've touched before your chemotherapy with a teacher's salary still think about you and wish you the absolute best: PRICELESS. Kick cancer's butt and get back to being the awesome you we know you are. =]
Oh yeah, and I read somewhere that it may be possible in the future for women to have kids on their own. Without men. Feminism sure is an interesting concept. ;)
Thinking of you and wishing you well,
Mel
