First a little backgrounder-- You have cancer...

That's right, you! And you have had it all your life.

On a routine basis, cancer cells get created in the body. They are mutations when things dont go right for one reason or another. The good news is that your immune system finds and destroys them before things get out of hand.

There are lots of different kinds of cancer cells, but they all have one thing in common. They are like fucking runaway obnoxious clowns. Imagine being at a nice bar with cool mature people. Then along comes evil Brad Wesley from the movie Roadhouse. He thinks he and his friends are gunna come in and do 20 shots a piece. Next thing you know, you got clowns messing things up for everyone. Getting all revved up, starting fights, vomiting, stealing money, hitting on your wife... Now that's a cancer thats got to go. Thats when Patrick Swazie, as Dalton, comes in and kicks their ass. In the body, those are your white blood cells, and specifically NK cells, that blast the cancer cells, and other goony ass invaders, into the next century. That is exactly what happens when your immune system is working as it should..

(Hey, if you need to take your mind off things for an hour and a half, you cant go wrong watching, or watching again, the movie Roadhouse. Its one of those films that is unintentionally good for a laugh. See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_House_(1989_film)
