As we mentioned in our last post, we have passed the half way mark for radiation treatments. While we are going downhill time wise, we will be going uphill side effect wise. And, we still have to get 2 more chemotherapy rounds in. They will be worthwhile but challenging all on their own. That said we look to you for your continued encouragement, support, thoughts and prayers.
To lighten things up and have some fun we’re having a contest!! We have mentioned Ken’s song of the day before. This takes him to his happy place during his radiation treatments and his intimate proximity with ‘Marvin’. This sets the stage each and every time.
With several treatments left, we look forward to hearing what your battle song would be!! We will also accept poems, battle cries, haikus and limericks!! How neat would it be if you (well your entries) are in the room with Ken, giving strength to him, and putting SCC (squamous cell cancer) in its place?! There will be two major prizes, one for the most powerful one and one for the funniest one. (Rumor has it the prizes may be based on left over Ensure and frozen soup).
Don’t be shy. Feel free to leave here in ‘comments’ or email direct: kennyscancerjourney@gmail.com
We’ll start:
- "ROSES ARE RED, VIOLETS ARE BLUE, SQUAMOUS CELL CANCER, GUNNA KICK THE #@!# OUT OF YOU".

http://youtu.be/TG8Ect3Xn7w This song takes me to a happy place. Maybe it will for Ken also. Don't know if this comment box will show it as a live link. If not, it's Van Morrison's Brown Eyed Girl.
ReplyDeleteWhoa! Miss Mojo - toe tapping time at old school. love the beards - I miss Ken's - I've never seen his top lip before!
ReplyDeleteJenny - knew I could count on you to enter - love the song - makes me want to be on a beach somewhere!

Okay so I am all caught up now, what an emotional and humbling read it is. I have been searching you tube for an appropriate song, and thus far, this is the best one I have found as an entry.. Good luck with round 2, and I hope it is sooner rather than later for you, but as in most things in life - things happen for a reason! So I will leave you with my song and my prayers and wishes to you both and all who love you and journey with you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGaOlfmX8rQ
ReplyDeleteI found it... I hope you like country!! In light of how positive you guys have taken on this demon, I think this is a great "happy place" song, I have loved it since the first time I heard it on the radio last year.. my "gift" to your journey

I love anything Van Morrison or Jackson Browne. Showing my age I guess. I have to thank you for the challenge because I ended up on Youtube for over an hour the other night just listening to some good music. Good luck this week.
