Saba Beats Cancer

I have cancer and I feel pretty damn lucky right now.  We live 5.3 miles from the best lymphoma center in the world. Got a lymphoma doctor who is a world leader and also specializes in brain issues from lymphoma. My platelets are looking good. And I can feel my tumors - most people cannot - so I know this morning that the lumpkin twins have shrunk considerably.  They are half the size in the groin and I can't feel the one in my chin or the one in my left armpit.  Do you know how good that feels?  And #meandthefucker walked for 1.2 miles after a stretch and situps.  Day 3 of chemo and I am almost doing my normal morning routine.
