Sometimes blogging feels like the proverbial “tree in the forest.” If it falls and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound? Some days I get comments; other days I don’t. Perhaps that’s why I obsessively check Google Analytics to see how many visitors I have.
A really neat thing happened yesterday [...]
I just received a very nice message from a cancer researcher in NYC about my post about statistics I feel good to find another person in the medical field, who like my oncologist I see, believes statistics aren’t all they’re cracked up to be.
This is another example of people or comments coming into my life [...]
I’m excited to announce my first guest blog post! I have been incorporating green tea into my diet to fight cancer. So I asked Dr. Gary Huber, president of the LaValle Metabolic Institute in Cincinnati, Ohio, to share his expertise on the topic:
Wow, talk about your unfair trade practices! Asia brought us green tea, and [...]
Spoiler alert: deep stuff ahead! I share my blog posts on Facebook and often get some interesting comments from them. My friend Terry, who goes to my church, sent me this yesterday:
I have really been enjoying reading your blog, even though I don’t have cancer issues. I am wondering about something and would like your [...]
I have been blessed by many serendipitous events in my life, especially since my cancer diagnosis. Meeting Nevine yesterday was one of them.
Wednesdays I go to the Wellness Community to a class called Healthy Steps. I think I’ve talked about the instructor Sally, who shares my belief in positive, healing energy and the law of attraction. [...]
Last night my husband, daughter and I watched the documentary, Crazy, Sexy Cancer by fabulous survivor Kris Carr. I read her book last year and was inspired by her wit, perseverance and spirit. In 2003, Kris was diagnosed with a very rare cancer, which manifested about 23 spots on her liver. Today her cancer is [...]
I want to clarify some things from yesterday’s post about the Type C personality. I try to keep my posts short – hey you’re all busy – so sometimes I don’t get to explore things as thoroughly as I’d like. Dr. Hall, who led the seminar I spoke about, emphasized healthy individuals have aspects of [...]
I had my second chemo session yesterday and had a chance to ask questions about my scans and treatments. Last week, Mike and I were in total shock and unprepared. I feel better now that I have more information and am hopeful about new developments in breast cancer treatment that I’ve researched.
OK, so you’re wondering [...]
There is a crude saying, “Opinions are like a#!holes. Everyone has one and it stinks.” Well, I don’t think that holds true for getting second or third or even fourth medical opinions.
As I mentioned in a previous post, I am going to a nearby city to see one of the leading breast cancer oncologists in [...]
It’s the first day of breast cancer awareness month and everything is pink. A week or so ago, I was in a cynical mood and started complaining about how marketers have capitalized on the pink ribbon to boost their sales.
I’ve had a change of heart and a dose of humility now that I am in [...]
