Let dad be angry at me for posting this, but the world has to know.

July 19th will be the second to last treatment for his cancer.
August 15th will be the last of a long serious of low-dose chemo therapy he has been under going since mid 2004. There will be a long range of follow ups to check on his remission, but hopefully things will be OK during this long period of time, and he will be cured of this once and for all.

A lot of time, money and research was spent on his part to figure out the best treatment and outcome. Perhaps too much, since health insurance would not pay for experimental treatments, especially one created by a former premed student that he is. In the end, it worked.

During the weeks of these dates, he'll be poisoned and should be resting, but I doubt it. He'll be out there rescuing the world from all the baddies like he always does. But hopefully by the August 19th, we can get something together to celebrate.

Its been a long 2 years.

Of course you know I'm going to have to put her on my lap and spank her hard for disclosing that information. Then again, she might like that.

Well, tomarrow I go in for my next to last low-dose chemo treatment for this cancer that's been fighting for its survival and using me as its host. So far so good, as it seems that it might be gone, but I have years of follow ups and remission reviews. Of course- the next few days, I'm going to be like a poisoned dog on chocolate.

Its the price I have to pay for being who I am and what I do.
I wont be posting, but my (not so) little girl might be, and might be under my name, so... unless I drop dead, I'll be around. I still got 1 more treatement to go through.

At least I'm one of the luckier few that is not going to be a Dead WTC Rescue Worker, like so many before me. It is them we should pray for, for they are a whole lot sicker than I. I made it through my ordeal with hell and kicked at its gates. Face it- they dont want me there!

And yes, my little premed student will be with me while I puke up everything for the rest of the week.

Until I feel better- take care y'all.

These past couple of days have not been good ones for, and I so do not want to leave him when he is running at 65%. Things have not gone well, being sick, feverish, and things not matching to what the doctors said. In fact, these past couple of days, he may have sweated out the chemo, since it has been that kind of week so far! But he wants me to go home, continue with my studies, though I think he needs to be reevaluated and perhaps get a second dose.

In speaking with mom, she saids that in as far as she remembers, he is an asshole when he is sick. She told me of a story of back in high school, some stupid kid caused a clorine leak in one of the chem labs, where the kid passed out in the room, and the whole building was evacuated. It got to him that this kid was still in the building, and despite the police and fire dept denying access to the building, he broke in, found the kid and pulled him out. 6 months later he got TB from the scars in his lungs, despite during this time, he was hacking up blood because he did not want to go to the hospital. He had to be dragged in unconscious to the emergency ward to receive any medical attention. 9 months later- TB gone, lung scars gone. If given the time to heal-his body regenerates in terms that I have yet to comprehend, which totally goes against what medical texts say what the norm is.

There are a few out there like him, who can heal from any injury, as scary as it may sound. But only if given the chance to do so, and I believe that he has not, and maybe getting worse from it.

Or maybe I'm just too overly concerened about nothing. What you guys think?

Its decided that I go back home to Ithaca tomarrow (7/22/10am) and come back next month when he gets te last treatment, if he can raise the money. With paying for my school and home rent and other items, then his own expenses- including treatments that health insurance will not cover, makes me wonder where he gets the money.

We had this long talk during the night, while online with others, we did not waiver from the various subjects we were discussing.

Well, for one, I'm glad I'm a girl. This was on a discussion of genetics that we've touched before but never gone into full detail about until today. Genetically, Elfen has various issues, but in reviewing the family tree, it seems that its carried by the Y-chromosome and not the X-chromosome since it seems to effect the males and not the females. There are other traits and issues that I do have from him, but least for the major ones, I'm glad being a girl! YAY!

Sadly though, unless some cure is made in the next 10 years, all this is going to catch up with him and do him in at a relatively young age, like his father before and his father before him... like for who knows past generations. The cancer was just a major side track in his life's medical issues.

It also seems that what few children that he may have had, are all girls for some reason. Which brings up #2, when his wife was killed, she was carrying a baby which died with the mom Crying or Very sad . It was a girl as well. They were settling on the name Samantha Francesca before she was found dead. One other pregnancy that he knows of, ended on a miscarriage, was also a girl. Its beginning to sound like Casey Goes To Bat... but I bet as Elfen's daughters, we would have made a hell of a team!

He has a long list of god-children, 99+% of them- girls. There are only 3 boys in the list, but he's supported everyone of them until they're adult years. A father to other people's children, he did his best for them all, even when their parents couldn't or wouldn't At least he's left a long legacy.

As far as money is concerned, despite the current problems he's going through with work, at least he has a trust fund from which he can pay his medical expenses and the things that I currently need while in school. He's tapped into this reserve before, but he cant for personal expenses like fancy cars or a bigger house. He has for the god children and his step-son, his wife's surviving child. Saddly, that step-son is in prison for doing a drive by when he was 16. He was tried ad convicted as an adult and serving a life sentence. Elfen's not too happy, considering the time and money spend on the child for this not to happen.

The secrets this family has, like me, for instance, stems from the past. The family on both ends has secrets. Some to protect certain members, others to hide the facts. Though Elfen's past used to be in what he calls 'The Cloak & Dagger Industry,' most of the family secrets seems to be on a personal nature. He wants an end to that, and I can see why. I'll d o what I can t help out, though it seems that I'm an outcast in my own family for choosing to know who Elfen really is. Its not I'm running away and having his baby, but I'm being treated as such.

Which I have to add, during the time I'm with him, I sleep in the same room but on a different bed, one that folds away when I'm gone. He has not once has been vulgar, stupid, demanding towards me. He has treated me like the daughter that I am to him, and has tried to make it comfortable for me to be here as much as possible. If he was around during those few times I really needed someone that really understands what I was going through, things may have been a little easier. I'm saying this because some would dare think that he's taking advantage of me and is perversing me like some pornagrapher's daughter. To those who lurk his forum to get information on him, I want this to be known: Elfen has been very nice to me and very caring to my needs like a real parent should. If you have any doubts, I'll add this much more- Elfen's too sick to even try anything against me, especially after Chemo. Amazingly though, he does hide it well, until he hits his bed, where he passes out for several hours. So you have nothing to fear as far as anything happening, because it hasn't and it wont.

Its getting late, I got that 10am flight, but until next time.
BYE!

If much of this information on genetics was not in Snippets of a Digital Dairy, I would have deleted the post a long time ago.

Nor do I care if this is the chemo talking or not, but I frankly do not care about how I am going along in this. Life is short; consider that on this Earth, somebody is being born every 3 seconds and somebody is dying every 11 seconds... in fact, you can count it off:
...1
...2
...3- WAH!!!
...4
...5
...6- WAH!!!
...7
...8
...9- WAH!!!
...10
...11- UGH!

When it is my time to go, it will be another date with Mistress Death, and unlike the other times she's taken me out for a joy ride, I wont be coming back. But I will be leaving an awful taste in her mouth like the several chances she had before. And may the world rot in hell if it does not fix its problems by the time I leave.

As for broadcasting the news- I will have a long talk with the Rash about this sort of thing. I have enough problems as it is, not having to worry about idiot who think they can run my life with extra information of my personal affairs.
