[Chris O'Carroll]

"Technically, you don't have liver cancer," the doctor told me. "What you have is colon cancer in your liver." Well, I knew I wasn't hearing good news. But I also knew I was hearing a great laugh line. Colon cancer in my liver? C'mon, that's pretty funny.

After a two-month course of chemotherapy, I had my liver surgery earlier this week. And the new issues of Lighten up Online and Snakeskin each carry one of my cancer poems.

I'm grateful to all of you who have rallied around with messages of encouragement and concern, and I hope everybody enjoys laughing at mortality.
