absolutely loved the show. i am almost 6 months in remission from Hodgkin's lymphoma. Was trying for a 3rd child when i self -diagnosed myself. this was not on my list for christmas. to think that in the past i had said that hodgkin's is a good cancer to get if you need to get cancer. i'll never say that again. chemo sucked, no other way to put it, but having gotten through it i have proven that i am a strong. hair does grow back. you do what you have to do. i am back doing primary care almost a month after my last treatment. my 3rd day back at work, sporting a very thin head of hair (hated the wig), i told a woman that her biopsy showed breast cancer - my colleague half joked that i'd be good at giving such news - hmm -what do you say to that...i never felt so empathetic giving bad news til then. i guess that was my silver lining, being a better doctor, and then getting to spend more time with my kids. the title crazy sexy cancer, well if it makes more people take notice of the growing number of malignancies in younger people, who cares what you call the show. my advice to anyone who wakes thinking about cancer and can't fall asleep b/c they are thinking about cancer - let your mind go to dark places every once in a while, but don't stay there. stay busy and surround yourself with friends that are positive. be upfront if people are not upfront with you, there is no time for anything else. lastly, cancer did not make me a better person, i was great before I got it. but i certainly do hug and kiss my family more than i ever did before.
