My San Diego flight is up in the air…..or rather grounded at the moment, due to the American Airlines aircraft inspections. A friend emailed me to let me know of the problem, and my flight is involved. Just kind of a wait and see thing I guess, to find out if my flight will be [...]

I’m feeling very grateful tonight. Grateful that I am part of the cancer community. I am grateful for those of you I’ve met and corresponded with and talked to on the phone. Those I’ve met in person in my community. Just since publishing my web site I’ve communicated with over 220 appendiceal cancer patients. I [...]

The book chronicles Don’s battle with lymphoma…a long and difficult journey over several years. His journey has included several remissions that he says in the end were [...]

T oday marks a new start for two online cancer forums. Real Cancer, Real Lives has moved to a biweekly schedule, due to recent lack of submissions. Minerva’s hosting this week’s carnival. Please check it out, and consider writing or hosting if you have anything to say on the matter.

I communicate with many cancer patients now as a result of having been in the cancer world for several years. I so appreciated the wisdom that fellow patients have articulated and sent my way this week.
