Name that Tumor!
You all know how I like to name things (Sally and Hal, anyone?) Well, I've decided we should name the tumor so we have some short hand to call it by. I remember reading last year about a kid in California who named his brain tumor Frank, and he was selling bumper stickers and t-shirts that said "Kill Frank" to raise money for his treatment. I'm not going to sell anything, but I do like the idea.
Now, there have to be some ground rules. Obviously, we don't want to name it after anyone we like, or names we might give to children yet to be born. It should be something that can be said in polite company, so try not to include profanity in the name. Kristen, I know what you're going to want to name it and that's just not going to happen. I'm considering calling it "That Bastard," but I don't want to co-opt that from it's original meaning.
So, post your suggestions for a name for my tumor in the comments section. I'll think of a prize for the winner. Maybe you'll get to shave my head if I end up losing my hair.

I have an odd question for you, what breast is the tumor in? Your left or right? Just curious.
I vote for the name Harold. My reason is that this a total nerdy awful name and reminds me of a pesty guy you would want to kill off get rid of. For some reason, I imagine the name being male. Not sure why, but I do.

My first suggestion is Merle. Remember that old guy I liked on The Price is Right? Well, in the end, all we can really say about him is that he was a loser. Just like this tumor.
My second suggestion is JabberJaws...Jabberwocky DingDong's evil cousin.
Also, if you spell it backwards it is Madd as, like mad as hell, which is what you need to be to beat this.

1-Rob- because of what it is trying to do to you
2-Hank - because it rhymes with yank, which is what I want to do to it.
3- Thelma - it's just silly, but I like it.
Love you,
Mom
