Snarkoma's Friends

snarkoma's Groovy Groups

About Me:: received my undergraduate degrees in English and History in May, am currently chilling at home with the APs in my hometown of Missoula, MT while I finish this lovely little journey with epithelioid sarcome. After that, it's onwards and sidewayswards to Washington D.C!

Just finished my third and final excision with the resounding cheer that comes from clear pathology, meaning I am officially cancer free and will now just be doing two more chemos and a six-week stint of radioactive tanning as insurance before I'm sent on my merry little way!

I also read more than is healthy, dance when no one and everyone is watching, will hike anything when given the chance, and used to be pretty sure I would grow up to be a unicorn.

Favorite Quote:: You need chaos in your soul to give birth to a dancing star - Nietzsche

Favorite Book:: Too many to name: Invisible Man, The Handmaid's Tale, The Dark is Rising, House of Mirth, Anne of Green Gables, The Alchemist, Dracula, Moby Dick, Bleak House....the list continues

What's your personal mission statement?: While poisoning, cutting, and radiating myself to a Karmic pulitzer, my goal is to get out of bed each day knowing that the world will make me laugh until I cry, if only I let it

Just a quick note to say I think you ROCK! This journey takes all sorts of people and throws us into a common blender. Here we are trying to make sense of it all. Personally, I struggle with it from time to time. However, it seems like you're one of those folks that "gets it." Somehow you make sense of it all and try to keep a perspective that is good.

Thanks for the friend invite.

Blessings... Rod

Welcome to CSL, and thanks for the message. When I saw "Snarkoma", I just about peed my pants laughing! Yes, we both have the canser that keeps on biting. After reading your blog, the question begs, are we twins separated at birth? My "oops" surgery to remove a top of the thigh "cyst" resulted in the ES diagnosis.

Keep in touch!
