hello world....chemo foggy here and coming out of it little by little...trying to explain how one feels after a treatment is difficult because every person reacts differently and within a minute you can be feeling "normal" to feeling like crap in a flash........YOU TRY TO JUST PUT ONE STEP IN FRONT OF THE OTHER TO GET THROUGH THE DAY....maybe the blog should be called "one step at a time"...i pulled off going to work most of the time because heck those who know me know i do not like to take sick days especially when i would rather take days off when i am healthy....looks like i still plan on hitting the road July 25Th to a trade show in Vegas and that will be a monumental task at best ...........so here's to "The Right Stuff" in your life to get you through ..............thanks for the love ...........tom

Thanks for keeping us posted.
Dear Thomas,
When we met again after 40 years I made some mental notes: "Try to be more like Tom. He seems to experience the moment and be more in touch with feelings, than you are." When you told me about how you and Dominick were left orphans at such a tender age, I was awe struck with your positive attitude after surviving such a fate, I think should still be bitter. Then I heard you were ill and that you had a blog. I searched for it and read many pages though not all, yet. I was impressed with your creativity and your humanity. I was really sorry to read that someone with so much talent and intelligence could be a Mets fan! You must be a masochist. I will pray for you.
Seriously, I will prey for you and your family. I don't know why some people are tested with so much adversity while others get a free ride. You seem to pass each test with high marks only to be tested anew. I strongly believe in the power of positive thinking and the power of the mind over the body. Please try to remain positive. You must meditate! I would do it myself but I'm far too busy rushing through life as if it were a race. But you should meditate ...and chant; envision yourself casting out the illness. Repeat the mantra "Cancer Schmancer, Cancer Schmancer,...". It couldn't hurt.
I don't mean to make light of something so serious. I hoped only to bring a smile to your face. You are showing me in your writing and by example that it's not the quantity but the quality. The depth of feeling that I see in you reminds me to slow down and try to experience the moment. May God bless you and your family.
with much love,
Frank
Hey Chemo Foggy...Hope the gray skies are clearing up and the rainbow shining again for you.
I feel like G-d has brought us back into your life to rally 'round you again and give you renewed strength, along with all your other wonderful friends and family.
I think it's wonderful that we have so many vehicles to communicate with you. Makes us feel closer to you, regardless of time and distance.
You are an inspiration to us all. I loved seeing Frank's comments and how your positive attitude in the face of adversity makes all the difference.
Keep the faith, keep on smiling, and know that we're here cheering you on.
Love,
Michele
Dear Tom,
Life is a rocky ride. I do know one thing you can ride the waves. With all my love . Lois
