It’s funny how some people react when they learn I had (ok technically have) cancer. You have people who in general don’t mutter the word beyond a quiet whisper. Some people feel they are being insensitive if they discuss it; you’re not by the way. Then there are the ones that want to tell [...]

For those of you who follow my story, you might remember this is not this first time I’ve become radioactive but this time they gave me a [...]

When I was going through treatment, the one place I would go when I had days off was Torrey Pines State Reserve and either walk the shore or hike to the edge of one [...]

I have been very low key the past several weeks not posting since chemo ended because I didnt want to jinx things. Thank my lucky stars m not superstitious, knock [...]

Thats right I am done, at least for now. Finished my last treatment of my last cycle today. I wish that was it, I wish there was a switch that I got to flick that now made me better, but the truth of the matter is this last cycle has taken a lot out of [...]

One more treatment and Im finished with Cycle2 and moving on to Cycle3 and hopefully my final Cycle. Heard a lot of the phrase cumulative effects this past week. My full week hit me a little harder than Cycle1 and over the weekend I was probably physically lower feeling than I have been since my [...]
