I was at the infusion center today for chemo. I overheard a girl talking about how her cancer is back as of this month. Based on the drugs she was taking, I knew it was colon cancer, so I introduced myself and started talking.
We both had stage IV colon cancer. And now we both have mets (it spread) to the liver and lungs. I told her, "stay right there. I want to show you something."
When I came back, she immediately said, "Oh you have a Colondar!"
"You've heard of it?"
"Of course. I'm on Colon Talk all the time!"
"Well, I'm in it!"
She looked at my page and said, "yes! I read your bio online and watched your video. I was about to order one, but I'll get one from you."
Does one person knowing of me make me famous? :-)

I think the more important question is if she's cute or not...
