This week my oncologist at Baylor said I'm still in remission. Hallelujah and thank God, right? Cancer absolutely sucks. People don't just throw those words around or become cool wearing a cancer sucks t-shirt while running a marathon that's all about cancer sucking -- It really, really, really does suck. And the worst part about getting rid of the cancer that tried to kill me is knowing cancer...

After cleaning the house like a champion house cleaner, I decided to read the very important PET scan instructions given to me by my superstar doctor at Baylor.
