The Breakfast Club.....

The PET scan has been booked for April 14th in Vancouver. The MRI is on April 15th back in Victoria. Thankfully the MRI is late in the afternoon so we won't have to take the first ferry back from Vancouver.

These scans will be the ones we bank on for the best information on the cancer. The PET scan will show any trace of cancer, and the MRI will show any mass, and it's size, if at all.

This is all good. I'm trying to stay as positive as possible with those dates looming.   However, I was rocked a bit when I found out that the appointment to get the results, wasn't until April 28th....no, no, no. I can't wait that long. I called the cancer centre to see if I could get in earlier, and was told no. My Dr. was all booked up.

Sadly,  I kind of started to feel my old friend anger seep in. I'm tired of waiting, I'm tired of being tired. I just want to know what's going on....so I can go on, know what I mean?

Anyways, I am trying my best to stay positive, but it's not easy.

Now for the good stuff.....

Did you know that on March 24th, the movie The Breakfast Club will be 30 years old.   Are you finished doing the math in your head? Yes, it's been that long, and yes, we've gotten older.

This is probably my favorite all time movie. I can recite most of it word for word, I know all the insults from Bender and I still remember my high-school boyfriends favorite quote.

The movie was/is so easy to relate to, no matter how old you are, regardless of whether you are male or female. Ok, maybe the guys didn't relate to the princess...or maybe some did, that's cool too.

I guess the reason why I am feeling overly nostalgic, is that what you took away from the movie was the feeling of belonging to a group where no one belongs.

That's kind of how I feel right now.

In the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions, we are:

....a brain

.....and an athlete

......and a basket case

.....and a princess

......and a cancer patient
