The cancer makes more and more cells in your bones and you can get infections. You have to have lots of needles and take lots and lots of medicine to help keep the cancer away. I have to take medicine until I'm 7 1/2.
What is it like?
I have to go to clinic a lot, but not as much in maintenance (treatment). In maintenance, there aren't as many needles or infections.

I See You Shiver With Antici...pation
So I'll remove the cause...
Tickets are officially here! As of Saturday, January 23, 2010 - all of you babies will be able to get your late night double feature tickets at the following locations:
Harvest Time Natural Foods - Augusta, Maine
Boynton's Market - Hallowell, Maine
A1 Express - Gardiner, Maine
And yes, you read me right. We have revamped this screening to include two shows! Because we love you so much, and know that even creatures of the night need their sleep, we've scheduled shows at 8 and 11 pm, with doors opening a half hour before each! Here's the sweet part - because this is now a double-screening, you get to pay less for your tickets!
Ticket prices for each show are $15 for balcony seats, and $17.50 for floor seats - and what does a ticket get you, you ask?
* The permission of Dr. Frank N Furter to run amok through Transylvania (Hallowell) collecting your show props!
* Seating at the benefit audience-participation show of the millennium, with -gasp!- live actors! Yes babies, Magenta and Columbia are coming down on their transit beam to dance and sing for you!
What more could one possibly want?
Go get 'em, you wild and untamed things, you...they're going to go fast!
...but not the symptom!

...and Then You Step to the Right
Better start practicing!
PS- Does anyone else think that Steve Buscemi would make a perfect Riff Raff?
It's Just a Jump To the Left...
Get ready to Time Warp, folks!
Tickets for the campiest audience-participation show of the millennium are ready and will be available for purchase by Tuesday morning! Join us on Saturday, February 13th, 2010, in rocking downtown Hallowell for a Pub Crawl, raffles, and a screening of the Rocky Horror Picture Show!
Come a little closer... Dr. Furter has a bit of gossip...
I heard from so-and-so that they'll be raffling off some really fabulous Rocky memorabilia... and that props are provided - you just go enjoy Rocky-themed drinks at Hallowell's fine establishments and collect them along the way...and that this will certainly be a Valentine's to remember!
The best part of this evening of fun festivities and transsexual Transylvanians, however, is that the proceeds are going to stay in your backyard by helping a family in need, and you'll have fun doing it! Instead of paying $238.74 to sit in a stuffy theatre, eating the world's unhealthiest popcorn, while cringing your way through the latest talking-puppy adventure, you get to dance, sing, throw toast (just try that at a corporate cinema complex), and maybe even see your neighbor in a leather bustier ("I had no idea he had a tattoo...there!").
Oh my! Could anything be more fantastic than that? Yes! Your ticket purchase goes directly to helping a child in your community, as she forges ahead on a long and bumpy journey through childhood cancer.
Dammit Janet, get ready! Rocky is coming to town!
