One of the most profound moving emotional experiences of my life happened on November 2nd 2023. I'll never forget. I was leaving Denver heading to Boston. I had to be at the airport at 7:30. At 3:00 in the afternoon there was a man outside CVS on 16th Street with his 4-year-old

I'm going to ask my fellow cancer sisters and brothers and caregivers to consider this reflection, and for some of you this will not be easy but please take a moment and be open-minded. I write this with sensitivity of my best ability. There are millions of cancer patients

Someday I will look back on this and laugh but at the moment it feels like utter cruelty. LOL I had my surgery Tuesday I'm still in the hospital and I thank you for your love and support to those of you who have been reaching out. However, about an hour and a half ago the nurse

The one gift I have received being a cancer patient is one that I am not surprised at yet never thought of it until I was a few months post diagnosis. I am a United States citizen. I also belong to a particular political party. I am also a Christian. And I attend a 12th step

Friends I know that Russell had made a post telling you I will be having surgery tomorrow Tuesday and that I don't want to talk about it. I'm not in denial. I talk about it with whom it is necessary, which means the medical team. I will continue to speak about cancer and

Day 11 of this. A week ago today I made a post about acquiring the flu. That is the last time I said anything yet I have said much of other events. I hope the point of this post is not lost on people. My condition has progressed. To the negative. Evidently the cancer has spent my

Why did my nephew wake me up at 3:00 in the morning on Butler avenue on Tybee Island? Why did 7 time Oscar nominated Glenn Close take her pen and jab me in my chest? Why do many cancer patients live for the 25th hour? What is the heart of the matter for those living with this

@HardChick18 @ThanksCancer I am so glad I reached out earlier the way I did although I felt very humbled. But the welcome is awesome. I truly believe people living with cancer are the strongest people. I just don't think any of us know the strength we are capable of until we have to do well within and

Russell here. I was at work so I couldn't tell you all this earlier. Robert called me after getting the massage. He is the only person that can be worse off than he was. Haha. He was so stressed I was cracking up. I asked him how it went and he said well Russell how do you think
