We love Gilda!
by ShamrockGirl
Radner, that is.
5. Favorite cast member on Saturday Night Live
4. She was the first person that came to mind when mom/Kathy was diagnosed with ovarian cancer
3. She battled cancer with humor and positivity
2. Her final question before resuming cancer treatment after relapse was "Do you validate for parking?" (No joke, it's in the book!!!)
1. She wrote the following mantra/song upon finishing her initial cycles of chemotherapy:
"I am well.
I am wonderful.
I am cancer-free.
No little cancer cell is hiding in me.
But if some little cancer cell is sneakily holding on,
I'll bash and beat its f%#&ing head and smash it till it's gone."
Other than finding joy and camaraderie with Gilda, there's nothing new to report this week. Mom/Kathy is happy to report she's NOT experiencing any of the common known side effects of chemo (numbeness, tingling, vomiting...). The final cycle of chemo is set to begin this Thursday. In the meantime , Mom/Kathy has the first 5 seasons of Saturady Night Live to keep her entertained.
