Back to chemo daycare after an extra week off to celebrate the Baha’i New Year. That was on March 25. A very uneventful day as all visits to the Chemo Daycare unit are turning into. The nurse showed up as promised. I had the pleasure of seeing Natalie again. Unplugged in no time. No fuss [...]

A wall out of a movie set

Love that word. I am probably not using it properly. It was too good to pass up. Remember Minority Report? The movie in which people drove their cars up buildings and down the other side? People were all abuzz about the movie when it came out imagining what the future would look like. Flying cars, [...]

Thank you for visiting, reading and commenting. Have you had cancer? Not that I would wish this on anybody. Cancer creates a journey of discovery. About yourself, and others.

I think I should take a one week break from Chemo every 6 sessions. I was given a one week reprieve last week to celebrate Naw-Ruz, the Baha’i new year. I kept getting stronger all week as the effects of chemo and Neulasta receded. Imagine what a difference one week makes. The Baha’i calendar is [...]
A number of you have been asking about the results following the original post. I received the results the other day and have not called the oncologist yet. He is not so much a numbers man, as a wellness doctor. As long as you seem to be doing well, he is happy. I seem to [...]
This is a picture of my niece playing across the street from our house in the school yard. She was running around, up ladders, down chutes and slides, around stairs, through the tunnels. All the time trying to run away from my grabbing paws, squealing away.
She found safe haven in one of the tubes. I could not climb in after her. She hid in there peeking out occasionally to make sure I was not chasing her. It took a while to take this picture. She was playing peek-a-boo with me.

No cancer patient does not ask that question. Why? Why Cancer? Why me? Why now? There are no answers to these questions. Really not one. I should end this blog entry right here. I am surprised by the number of cancer patients and supporting family members who are or have become devout believers in God. [...]
