And this is exactly what is happening: We are creating a cure by uniting the contributions of surgeons, homeopaths, oncologists, Chinese doctors, nutritionists and spiritual healers. The active participation of everyone involved -- both experts and ex-patients -- is naturally filtering out any damaging suggestion which might be proposed.
My brother died a year and a half ago due to complications related to the treatment of his cancer. I left this comment (edited) on another blog the other day: My brother died of cancer almost a year and a half ago. I associate Easter with him as well because his birthday is on April...

I just very carefully went through the album mentioned in the post below, page by page and looked long and hard at every picture of my beloved brother. No more pain at this moment, just a dull ache and a profound gratitude for having had him in my life. The other day when I looked... Continue Reading →
As many of you know my dearest brother died on September 3rd of last year. Tomorrow would have been his 49th birthday. I've been anticipating the pain for awhile, and unfortunately what makes it hurt even worse is that today is my wedding anniversary. I have the two dates linked in my mind and have...

from Philip Dawdy's site: "Patients with schizophrenia taking antipsychotics had a 308% increased colon cancer risk." Interestingly, they had a slightly lower risk of respiratory cancer than other populations, which is kind of interesting given how many people with schizophrenia blow through cigarettes. And, then, the study's conclusion: "The increased risk of colon cancer is particularly marked in patients with schizophrenia who take antipsychotic medications." I'm not making this stuff up people. Just passing along independent peer-reviewed research, the kind that makes you wonder if psychiatrists actually happen to read academic journals, given current practices in the industry. That's not to say that anti-psychotics cause colon cancer per se--that would require further study--but something rather ugly is clearly going on here.
I had a nightmare last night. Both my sister-in-law and my younger brother were dying. I awoke after giving my sister-in-law a kiss as she lay there on her death bed. Upon awakening I was struck with grief for my dead brother as fresh as the day he died. I wept out loud and spoke... Continue Reading →
This condolence was sent to me in a card. This beautiful man who has been my aunt's partner for 15 or 20 years wrote it to me. Surely your brother sowed a hopeful garden for many---in many places. In the twilight of his days, no greater love must have absorbed than the collective enduring embrace... Continue Reading →
Today is the memorial service. My brother will be there in a small walnut box--ashes. I had a really ugly 36 hour stint of living hell. The grief left me inconsolable and the PMS left me pushing away everyone that loves me with a rage that made me hate virtually everyone. Talk about miserable and... Continue Reading →
Yesterday I said I would post something light and silly today....Ha! Not an option. The last two nights I've woken up in the middle of the night crying--up for at least two hours. This morning I stayed in bed late and wished I didn't need to get up, but I had family obligations and errands... Continue Reading →
My brother is dead. He died yesterday at 9:05 am after a 72 hour vigil at the hospital. I will not tell the story now and maybe never. I just wanted to check in. There are lots of family duties and the simple need today to go to the mall and buy and appropriate dress... Continue Reading →
