Although Tony and I could see it in the doctor’s eyes at his appointment last week, Friday night at dinner time we got the call that Tony has rectal cancer. And while we both kind of saw it coming and had a couple days to digest it, I know both of us were hoping for better news. We’ve decided that our mantra is going to be: “Fuck Cancer!”
Not gonna lie, Friday night was rough – we had a pity party for two! But we woke up Saturday with a positive purpose. We don’t exactly know what we are dealing with, other than he has a cancerous tumor. Today we go to a hospital in Chicago where they will do an ultrasound to figure out the exact size and depth of the tumor.
We both are going to rely heavily on our sense of humor to get us through this. All weekend Tony would say something like “can I have a glass of iced tea? I have ass cancer!” And I, who never replaces the toilet paper, replaced it yesterday and as I was walking the toilet paper into the bathroom, I pointed it out to Tony and said “I am replacing this because you have ass cancer!”
Thanks for all your well wishes prior to this diagnosis and keep sending your positive thoughts our way – we can use all the help we can get!
Hugs!
Biz and Tony
OMG Biz…I’m so behind on my blog reading, and now I see this. I’m so sorry you and Tony will have to go through this, but humour and a positive outlook will definitely go a long way.
Your title is interesting, because there is actually a movement started here in Vancouver called Fuck Cancer. You can check it out here: http://www.letsfcancer.com/
Oh, Biz. I’m just now catching up on blogs and saw this. Sending you and Tony all my best wishes and hope for a fast recovery. Fuck cancer!
Been there and done that, I eat drink and sleep your FUCK CANCER motto.
good luck and live life well.

Sorry to hear about this news, you guys will be in my thoughts and prayers as you go through this difficult time.
Biz,
I’m so sorry about this bump in the road and will keep you in my prayers. I have to commend you though about the wonderful level of coping you’re showing. You made me chuckle – for real. My husband too. I love it.
FUCK cancer.
you have a great attitude. i’ve had cancer on both sides of my family – it’s a rocky road but you will get stronger. thoughts are with you.
Awwww, Biz. I’ve read you every single day (for like, 2 years!) but have never commented. My stomach dropped when I read this news. I am so very sorry. But you and Tony will kick this fucking cancer together. Give that big Teddy Bear of yours a hug for me. Stephanie in Vancouver, WA
oh no, Biz – I hate to hear this. Fuck cancer, indeed – kick cancer in the ass! I love that you’re going to rely on humor. You guys are totally going to get through this. Take care of you and let us know if there is anything you need! And please keep us posted as you all kick ass cancer’s ass!!!!
Shit! I am so sorry. I will say that you have the greatest relationship (I can see from reading your blog) and that will help get you through this.
I am really mad. I have decided to do the Avon 2 Day Breast Cancer Walk in April. I just wrote my fundraisig letter tonight and in it said “who doesn’t know someone with cancer? who would like to NEVER have to hear of a cancer diagnosis again?” And, now we hear of one…..IT SUCKS! Hang in there and give his ass a big kiss!
Tony and Biz, THAT is the attitude to have! Sending you all my thoughts & prayers! Love you!
Oh damn, so sorry to hear this……….you and Tony have a good attitude and that really, really helps. Lot’s of positive vibes and hugs are going your way. FUCK CANCER!
