I’ve failed to complete this post a number of times. It’s laden with caveats and nuances and limited…
There’s a lot I haven’t been telling you, but I’ll tell you (most) everything now.
I wanted to speak more about a life trap I fell into and many others do too. The trap is to think that you have a good chance of…
I met today with my Symtpoms Management Nurse Practicioner. She’s been amazingly thoughtful and thorough even…
This post is going to be a mess … suitably as I’m in a bit of a mess. I’m finding living with cancer…
My life is in a state of mental whiplash and I barely even realized it. In barely 4…
I had a CT scan today which confirmed what I was feeling, which is that my immunological treatment(Nevolumab/Opdivo)…
The chairlift was running to the top of Mt. Sunapee (2,700') today so my sister, brother-in-law, and kids rode up. I read and explored a bit and they took the hike back down to Lake Solitude (1.2 mi from summit).
I often used to tell anyone that asked that Catster.com was the best big online community on the Internet. Dogster.com was well above average, but Catster was amazing. Tens of thousand of people speaking daily on the Internet without ever fighting, or…
Michael Franti & Spearhead have a new song out and a movement they hope to inspire along with it. The song is called…
“What is Grief?” I asked her.
Yesterday I shared, in the form of a tweetstorm, a very personal commitment I made to myself within minutes of learning I had tumors growing all over my organs to make something beautiful for the world. It’s embedded below. But I wanted to share, that yes I do…
Hey, that’s my mom! She out here for about 8 days. The good news, switching from my chemo cocktail to the immunological Nivolumab treatment has made my day to day better including far fewer side affects and pain. It does overlay low energy on me, (but I’m used…
The bad news is that I had my first PET/CT scan since before chemo started 6 weeks ago and we’re seeing mixed results. One tumors is almost gone, but the more dangerous tumors on my organs are roughly 1cm bigger.
I turn 46 today. I’ve never been as happy to turn a new year since I was 25. I’m thrilled to be 46. As the…
Sorry to say to any primary Facebook users Im close with, but I just deactivated my account.
I’ve never like Facebook’s highly sophisticated manipulation of social queues to get people to take a social action as trivial as clicking like…
A couple weeks ago I got this video while I was in the hospital. I’ve watched at it at least 200 times. I cry every time.
My cancer’s DNA was sequenced at a facility called Foundation One and the report came back Friday. As is the norm so far, no definitive markers were found to identify my type of carcinoma, but two markers that are decent clues were found. One has led to renal carcinoma being the lead guess…
I don’t have a big extended family but they’re are six of us in my parent’s family. It’s so helpful they can come one-by-one to help.
I spent the last week in hospital mostly working on some deep nutritional issues. My long time slow weight loss (for months before I knew my situation) followed along by nutrition issues since then, left my body bereft of most everything. My mother came out the next day and then my father…
Eating has been a real challenge for me and I guess I let too many meals slip. That was Sunday night, and I’m still here. Diet gets even harder when chemo makes me nauseous, and pain pills lead to constipation (sorry TMI).
‘Cause when my baby’s beside me, I don’t worry
When my baby’s beside me, all I know
When my baby’s beside me, I don’t worry
