Cancer-inspired tattoo is ruling my world

Instead of having a surgery this year (like I've had for the past three years), I'm consenting to a brain cancer-inspired tattoo.

Unfortunately, this tattoo is so huge it takes multiple sessions, with a mandatory two-week waiting period between each session (at least).

What is wrong with me? Do I miss the torture of chemo and brain surgery? At least a seizure only lasts for a few minutes.

It seems as though the brain cancer tattoo is taking up half my 2011.

At least I am still alive.

And no, this is far from being "done."
