But from the voices of people living with cancer, I have just one thing to say 'HURRY UP ALREADY!!! We are sick of waiting.' Forty years since the war on cancer began, and 29 years since I started dealing with it, this waiting business is a bit tiresome. Enough on this tiresome cure/treatment business. Today is a rainy yucky day. The kind you want to stay in bed and read trashy novels and watch movies. Unfortunately I can't. I need to go to work. I can't wait to drive on the interstate on a rainy day with a bunch of idiots. And he high temperature will be 58 - welcome to summer in New England. Yesterday I worked from home and then did some gardening. I went to the library and got a cookbo...

Um, this has proven to work on mice. Not people, but mice as in the things my cat likes to find in the middle of the night and bring them up to show us. Yes it is significant. Yes it may constitute a breakthrough but it is only proven to work on specifically bred mice. And no it does not mean that it will be tested on humans anytime soon. And if it makes it through the testing, it does not mean that we can expect to see it available for another decade. So in the meantime, we get cured mice and we can feel happy that generations of mice being healthy.An additional note to consider is who wrote the article and why. Are they a professional who can cut through the medicalese and translate it into something that cuts to t...

You must think I spend all my time looking for articles. I don't. I spend about two minutes looking to see if there is that long awaited breakthrough in the search for a cure. I used to spend longer but now that pessimism has set in, I only look for a few minutes because, in addition to being a tiny bit pessimistic about this, I realize that if the cure for cancer was discovered it would be front page news world wide - sort of like what we can expect when BP finally caps the damn oil well. But my optimistic side always makes me check around in case somehow it missed the front page editor's sight. I look around and then scan them and only read the ones that I think pertain to me.Anyway, this article is optimistically titled 'Progress agains...

Yesterday it was announced that a breast cancer vaccine has been developed that looks very promising BUT:- it has only been tested on mice so they say 'if it works the same way on humans...' and that is a big IF- it targets an antigen that is present while lactating so it would primarily be used in women over 40, so what about the women under 40?- it will not cure breast cancer once you have it.So, while it looks promising and is yet another significant breakthrough, it still has a long way to go. There is no way of knowing it will work as expected with people. And then would need to go through the FDA approval process and be manufactured for mass distribution. So while one can be cautiously optimistic,...

I never used to care about this meeting but now I do read the announcements. I guess I'm waiting for the cure. This year is no different. There are a bunch of preliminary announcements out that look promising but none of them apply to me. I'll check back at the end of the week and see if there is anything more interesting.I do think that this is progress in the cure for cancer but they have been looking for it for a really long time and still haven't found it. Will it be figured out some day? The research looks 'promising' they say... But it has looked 'promising' for a long time.And the news just flashed a story that people who suffer from allergies are l...

That is the latest thought process to speed up the development of cancer drugs. Apparently there are 850 cancer drugs in the pipeline but not enough patients in clinical trials so there is a backlog. The thought is to use man and mouse simultaneously to speed up the process.Hmmm.... I'm thinking. Do I want a drug that was 'rushed' through testing? Or do I trust the FDA and other authorities to make sure that drugs are completely safe before they are dispensed? In recent years there have been several drugs, which had successfully tested and received approval and then found to have health risks and were pulled from the market - think of Vioxx for one. New medications are often very strong and can have long term side effects that may not be discovered until...

I try to limit myself to trashy novels, the daily newspaper (especially the comics) and the closed captioning on the TV at the gym but sometimes I do expand to news sources and the internet...So I learned a few new things. First of all if you have pain, there is a good chance that the new fancy drugs, aren't going to help you. Gee thanks. I do take one of those and thought it was helping. Well at this point I am going to keep taking it for now. Then I read that people in pain such as fibromyalgia (which I have not been told I have but believe that some of my pains in my back are referred neurological pain because it is treated that way) should change their diets and avoid all sorts of different things and eat other things. I learned that the majority of American's...

This week, I’ve invited Julie Neraas, author of “Apprenticed to Hope: A Sourcebook for Difficult Times,” to tell us about the different kinds of hope. Julie is an ordained minister, spiritual director and associate professor at Hamline University, and speaks regularly about hope, where it can guide you, how it can sustain you, and what meaning it can bring to your life. For more information visit www.julieneraas.com. Here’s Julie … Not all hopes are alike. There are many different kinds like daily hopes — that rain won’t spoil the picnic, that the dentist will not find cavities. Or still larger hopes,...
