Everyone seems to be watching the numbers these days. The Dow Jones. S&P 500. Consumer confidence. Housing starts and foreclosures. People are watching their retirement IRA's and 401k's shrink before their eyes. They are nervous, upset, angry. That is how cancer survivors and patients feel everyday, every month, every year. They are always watching the numbers. The PSA (Prostate cancer). M-spike (Multiple Myeloma). There are blood tests and markers to monitor many different types of cancer. Or maybe it is the MRI or PET scan results every six months. Or some other test. I watch my white blood cell and neutrophil counts each month. If they are too low, I will need to wait to resume my monthly chemotherapy until the numbers come up.
Watching the numbers. Now the general investing public knows how a cancer patient feels everyday for the rest of his or her life! Feel good and keep smiling!
