"It&amp;#x27;s been a while since we&amp;#x27;ve done a list here on Life with Cancer and it seemed like a great, head-clearing way to kick off the week. Here goes: 1. My next cancer test--I&amp;#x27;ll be having more blood shipped to Oregon in a couple of weeks to see if there is anything to be concerned about (remember I had the &amp;quot;weak positive&amp;quot; the last time?). I am not really worried but I am a freak so every bruise I get (which is a lot these days since I&amp;#x27;m such a klutz) I can&amp;#x27;t help but think OMG, what if my cancer is back? 2. The Japanese red maple that Alex and Nick got me for Mother&amp;#x27;s Day. It&amp;#x27;s a gorgeous tree but Nick and I made a rookie mistake and planted it a leetle too close to our house. Right now it&amp;#x27;s fine but in five years there&amp;#x27;s a good chance we won&amp;#x27;t be able to get in our front door. We spent the weekend pointing out every JRM we saw and saying, Oh %&amp;amp;$^@!!! Our tree is going to get that big?! 3. Alex&amp;#x27;s lungs. I&amp;#x27;m not even sure if I told you guys this but Alex has had a cold (cough/runny nose) for a good three weeks now. Over the weekend he was prescribed a nebulizer to help him breathe better. He hates it. I hate it. And every time I have to hold him down and sing silly songs to distract him, I can&amp;#x27;t help but think of the parents of really sick babies (I recently heard of two with leukemia) and how beyond awful that must be for them. 4. What I&amp;#x27;m going to make for dinner tonight. I have become totally, completely, 100 percent obsessed with cooking. I love it. I can&amp;#x27;t get enough. Over the weekend I even made lunch. Twice (and neither of them involved deli meat). Last night, I dreamt that I was on Top Chef (my favorite reality show of all time) and during the quick fire challenge I was making scrambled eggs with shrimp but then realized it was supposed to be a &amp;quot;low cholesterol&amp;quot; meal and got frazzled and tried to pick out the yokes and...then I woke up. Yes, I have issues. 5. Some big news that I will share with you guys very soon and is very exciting (I&amp;#x27;m not pregnant, promise) so you&amp;#x27;ve got to stay tuned.... And please feel free to post your lists!"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
