QOD

I am off to bed, after I kick Mallory out of it, as she is laying comfortably on top of all of my laundry..... anyway, that brings me to my quote of the day.

"I'm glad it's me and not my mom, I'm glad its me and not my sister; I'm glad its me and not any of my friends. I am ready for the fight."

This quote was from straight-edge vegan Bif Naked, in her statement about recently being diagnosed with cancer.

Bif Naked has cancer


Bif Naked, the straight edge-vegan canadian rocker chick has cancer. She broke the news today in a radio interview with George Stroumboulopoulos.
She says "It is a very surreal situation for Ian and I at this time. Two weeks ago I was doing a self breast exam and discovered a lump. I went into my doctor for a checkup and he immediately sent me for tests, including a mammogram, which indicated a high possibility of cancer, From there things have gone at what seems like light speed: biopsy, blood tests, cancer clinic. It's been two weeks from being completely healthy to cancer patient with surgery, radiation and chemotherapy scheduled."
"I have never been one to give up when an obstacle is placed in front of me. I am in the fight of my life and I'm lucky to have the support of my husband Ian, and many friends, and family members. With the help of my BodogMusic family I plan to continue working on these recording projects in between the cancer treatments and come out the other side with two great albums and a clean bill of health."

"I'm glad it's me and not my mom, I'm glad its me and not my sister; I'm glad its me and not any of my friends. I am ready for the fight."

Get well wishes, and hugs go out to Bif during this time.
