"Cancer On $5 A Day* *chemo not included" by Robert Schimmel (the comedian) is absolutely hilarious. Although he is a Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma survivor there is much to relate to here. Maintaining a sense of humor is as important as a positive attitude...

Well I didn't have time to listen to the whole interview before heading to work but it's definitely worth listening to! I got to the "if I beat this it's because the cancer cells couldn't stand Yanni anymore"....LOL! (apologies to any Yanni lovers out there).

Thanks for the link Gary.
