The big C, not so big

My sister Laura wrote the following haiku (and the above title) for me. I find myself cheered by it, even as I gear up for lung cancer surgery on February 9.

Doctors work for you

You are the warlord, sister

Kill the cancer cells

I was even moved to draw a cartoon about it. That’s me on the right.

Thank you, sister. Wish me luck, my friends.

  1. I love your cartoon! The way you are jumping up and down with glee, while the Doctor is thinking, I better get this right!
    Thoughts and prayers are with you.

  2. From Feb/March 2026, page 37 Readers Digest. Joke by James Ruma: ‘How do snails fight? They take off their shells and slug it out.’

    Let it go. When your shell is intact again, hope only good things are inside. Kevin in Maine
