The Jewish Mr. Clean
2 weeks down….32 more to go. Ha trust me, it isn’t that bad. If these
past 2 weeks are any indication of what I have to go through this shit
isn’t going to be half what I thought. After chemo I woke up nauseous
on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday but with heavy anti-nausea drugs I was
out partying that night; no joke. I don’t know, maybe come 2 or 3
more cycles the drugs might hit me harder, but for now I will take
what I can get. I woke up Monday feeling so much better. I was eating,
consistently, which as we all know made my mom the happiest Jewish
mother alive. The week didn’t go by to slow, I remember just writing
to everybody last Thursday. I have picked up a few things to make the
time go by. Like T.V., and uh T.V., and…sleep…and T.V. Just playin.
There is a book or two somewhere in there. I went to the doctor today
and my white blood count is way up, partly because of the daily
injections I take after chemo for 7 days, but mostly because I am
healthy, and my hemoglobin (red) count is much higher as well. WOO
HOO, that is music to my ears. So for now, this week, I get to live a
normal life, putting this cancer way in the back of my mind. If
everything goes accordingly I am going to register at pierce in the
spring and take some courses so I wont fall too far behind. That will
be pretty cool, I guess. Couple classes online, some at the school, it
will work out. I have to come to realize a lot of different aspects to
life. I am so fortunate to have the support that I have. If every
cancer patient had one tenth what I have they’d be chillin like I am.
Every time you guys call, text, email, visit, it means so much to me
and I can’t stress that enough. Lets keep it up, like I said only 32
more weeks to go. Because of all the support I have I am going to try
to raise money for the lymphoma society. I am going to custom make
lance Armstrong bracelets, but with my own saying. I mean I can go the
simple route and come up with a word like STRENGTH, or POSITIVITY, but
it might be more interesting to come up with my own saying such as
F@!# Cancer, or the Jewish Mr. Clean. Tell me what you guys think. So
far, the Jewish Mr. clean is looking pretty good. I love this
baldness. The beautiful round shape of my head brings such confidence
to my look. Not to be arrogant, but come on, throw a cancer patient a
bone. One more thing: I have been trying new looks, tell me what you
think. There is Rastafarian Ben, Thug Ben, Tiger Ben, and Disco Ben.
Thanks for the support guys, I love all of you.

P.S. Fuck Cancer

Hey Romeo,
I am Matt Singer’s dad. I think what you are doing is great and like most people who have been personally touched by a health issue mine being MS remember these words that Norman Cousins once told me “accept the diagnosis but deny the prognosis”. Keep up the good work and good luck with school.
Attitude is everything!
Best regards,
Richard Singer
