Sometimes Twitter provides a golden nugget amid announcements about where someone is having coffee and people (like me) touting their own services. No, seriously Twitter is a great way to find articles and other helpful information you would have not otherwise discovered! @Cancerthriver (that’s her Twitter name for all of you uninitiated in the ways of [...]
As I mentioned before, I am looking through the final proof of From Incurable to Incredible. It’s amazing how many mistakes we are catching! Its par for the course when editing that you can find things after you haven’t looked at copy for a while. Then you can look at it with a fresh eye. A [...]
I’ll make this quick because I am in the midst of proofing the final layout of From Incurable to Incredible. The sooner I get this done, the sooner I can get it out to all of you who have expressed interest in reading it. Speaking of the book, I wanted to thank everyone for their [...]
First of all, I want to thank all of you who left wonderful comments the past couple of ays. I will draw names this weekend, so you still have time to comment and enter in the contest to win a signed copy of From Incurable to Incredible when it is released. I’m hoping that will happen [...]

As my post title says, I think I need to go back and read my own book. If you’ve visited recently, you know that I am getting close to releasing From Incurable to Incredible: Cancer Survivors Who Beat the Odds. If all goes well, it should be out by late next month. But it’s been [...]
We just returned from our trip to the Indiana University Simon Cancer Center to get my second opinion on the scan. The verdict for now is that since it was not a big progression, there is room for discrepancies. I guess not all radiologist readings are alike. So I’m going to wait a month and get [...]
I just wanted to give a quick update on my ongoing journey into oncologic uncertainty! My PET scan results came back showing a slight increase in cancer activity and one spot getting a little larger. My doctor says it could be just a technical variance and it might be worth it to wait a few months [...]
I always try to keep my posts upbeat. After all, the tagline of this blog is “information and inspiration for cancer thrivers.” However, I find there is healing power in relating shared experiences, especially difficult ones.
