Ann’s Diary: Boston Irish

So here’s something I didn’t think I’d be saying today: I have cancer in my brain and in my liver.

I can hardly believe it. I went for a scan last week and there it was. My doctor was stunned about the brain.  I’d been having some trouble with my lungs so that wasn’t a surprise that it showed up a little bigger there….but the liver?

The brain?

WTF?

Gang, all I can tell you is this: I am pissed off. And I am originally from Boston, Massachusetts and I am of Irish decent.  Are you getting me?  (Or as said in “Southie”, do ya folly me?) When you’re Boston Irish and you’re mad and you’re ready to fight, you don’t lose; the other guy does.

I’ll write more when I can find the words.  For now, just send up your best most positive most strengthening thoughts, prayers and love to me.

It will make all the difference in my Boston-Irish-fighting cancer world.

    What depressing news. You are strong sharing this with everybody. I’m not much of a prayer, but I pray that you will be around to miss many, many more Oscar shows to come.
