JugglingEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
I am juggling here with this weight loss thing. It is harder than I thought to figure out how to eat enough food but not go over both calories and fat grams but still feel like I'm eating enough and not starving all the time. The key is how to keep calories and fat grams in the right range. In my short adventure into weight loss, I have discovered snacks are what is ruining my diet. Cheese to be precise. A nice healthy lifestyle and then I sneak in cheese and crackers for a snack - which is more than 1/2 my daily fat requirement in a brief period of time. No more snacks except fruit and vegetables.Yesterday was Friday so t...

The good news, the bad newsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
I always start with the good news. Always. Today we received news that the flattening of Amelia's optic nerves (a sign of damage) is gone since the latest spinal tap. Her optic nerves also look very healthy on the MRI brain scan, and the channels that drain fluid around the brain stem are completely open. They had previously been partially blocked by her swollen brain stem. Her MRI is, in fact, completely and totally normal for the first time since October. It appears that she suffered two distinct demyelinating events, one in October, and another in November. This does not yet meet the criteria for multiple sclerosis, so,...

One of the positives from having myeloma is I found my ears!Before myeloma I was a typical male, didn’t listen, wouldn’t listen, too busy too listen.As my daughter used to say, “Dad, your ears are painted on”. Though I wouldn’t admit it, she was right.Being diagnosed with myeloma, learning about myeloma and going through initial treatment I had to gain knowledge by listening to and trusting others. This is when I had to stop, shut up and listen. Good things happened when I learnt to listen.I realised that the 2 lugs on the side of my head had another purpose other than holding my glasses on, they are a listening ...

Sometimes the phrase “life or death” is not a cliché. Even more surprising than the words “you have cancer” were the words from the secretary when I tried to make a appointment for a second opinion: “You have no insurance.” I left my job three weeks prior to my diagnosis to transition to a new workplace. COBRA would have carried my insurance through, but my former employer apparently forgot to submit the paperwork. I was 27, had a sudden pre-existing condition, and no health coverage. The government, insurance companies, my former employer – none of them were willing to pick up the tab for my cancer care. I ...

A Funny Surprise From Breast CancerEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
There is one positive thing that I can honestly say came out of chemotherapy. It came up with my hairdresser today when she happened to notice that I have great eyebrows. I know it sounds funny, but hey, let me have this one thing. I have always had darker and thicker eyebrows than most women, but not quite as great as Brooke Shields. I was constantly plucking and shaping them and then breast cancer hit. Chemotherapy thinned them out quite a bit, but it couldn’t quite get rid of them. After my hair grew back, my eyebrows took on a new shape – and I couldn’t be happier. So today, my hair dresser commented on how great...

Teenagers with cancer don't really fit into a kids group or an adult group. You are too old for a pediatrician never mind a pediatric cancer group full of little kids. You are too young to be treated as an adult because you aren't able to make your own medical decisions or, if you are 18 or 19, all of a sudden HAVE to make your own decisions. Also, as a teenager, doctors ask embarrassing questions about bodily functions you wish everyone would ignore and then there are all these people who look at your body.

We cried, “How long, O Lord, how long will we be made to wait, and swallow jagged shards of that unchristened chalice of whose warm wine we never took a taste and all we drank was emptiness unplanned?”And he replied, “Until you learn the song that only sorrow sings, of how my soul regards your ev’ry wound, and malice has no place in my design, but all is paced to come with double blessings in my hand.”A man who writes poetry and proclaims God, priceless indeed. Praying that someday - someday soon - I will see Him come with double blessings in hand. Thanks to John Piper for encouraging me to dream today. (Source: Turquoise Gates)

I turned 38 this week. In many ways this is a miracle since I was not expected to live this long. I truly did not believe I would be alive to see this birthday. Two years ago, I was told I only had 6 months to live and I was fairly sure that it would be my last birthday. I stopped praying for a cure and concentrated on having more time. That prayer was answered and I was given another year of life. Then again last year the doctor’s told me I had a short time to live. Again, I was facing a birthday as though it was my last. I even had a huge party – a celebration of life. This year I tried not to think about whether...

Amelia's EEG (electroencephalogram) went well today. She was able to cooperate fully, so the entire test was done, very unusual for a 3 year old! I was proud of her - especially the brief crying she did when the tech sanded her scalp with first sanding paper and then the wooden end of a cotton swab! She has about 20 tiny dots where the hair has been completely removed. And those of you who know Amelia know - that is a lot of hair to remove!!At this point, it was all fun and games, especially since her size hat just "happened" to be her favorite color, yellow. Isn't God amazing? He cares about the smallest of details!The t...

Well I am thinking that I am allergic to a medication that I have been taking. I think it is Bactrim, and from over the phone, the on-call pulmonologist seemed to think so too. I was prescribed Bactrim by my pulmonologist as a preventative antibiotic because I have been on Prednisone since this summer, which weakens the immune system. I woke up today and yesterday with a facial rash. This happened a couple of weeks ago too. It's itchy, red, dry, kind of spotty. It's not horribly noticable by casual veiwer but it is annoying to me. Like I said, it is a bit itchy. And it is strange, my face/skin is usually very clear. The ra...

Race and CancerEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
A couple of cancer news items caught my eye, because they both concern race and cancer. The first story says that blacks, although they have the highest cancer rates of all U.S. ethnic groups, feel less at risk than do whites. A study done at the University of Buffalo says that as a result of this attitude, blacks are less likely to get screened for various cancers with mammograms, pap smears, or tests for prostate cancer. One reason for this difference in attitudes, when compared to whites, is that blacks are less likely to report a family cancer history, meaning that they may be unaware of it. Rea...
