How Breast Cancer Changed My Life – guest post
Okay, it’s been almost a month since my last confession, er, entry. Time goes so rapidly now. I work five days a week. I know a lot of people do, but I have been off for seven years thanks to cancer and stem cell transplant. My mother moved in with us after her fall in March. I have had the grand-kids a couple times a week. And Spring came early here in the midwest. We have a huge garden that was already threatening to go to weeds. I bought 130 bags of mulch last week. So I have been weeding, feeding, digging, spraying, planting and transplanting, mowing. And this is not to mention building a 16&#...

Cancer Recovery During a Pandemic
It’s been 18 months since I finished chemo for breast cancer, 15 months since I finished radiation at this writing, June 2020. My hair grew back a year ago. The tingling in my fingers is gone. I used to have heart flutters and some chest congestion; those symptoms have passed.
I had a mammogram recently; it was good. No “signs of malignancy.” That’s how the official language goes. I wasn’t expecting anything bad, but you never know.
I saw my oncologist the following week. She felt my scar tissue. I have tenderness under my armpit where four lymph nodes were removed. She said it all felt fine. She also told m...

A Gala, a Trophy, and $50,000 for Cancer Research
Read this first: I Hope My Friends Forgive Me: What It’s Like to FundraiseIn less than 20 minutes at the rehearsal for candidates before the Man & Woman of the Year Grand Finale Gala, I broke protocol and walked onstage to meet myself.Candidates were instructed to arrive to rehearsal fully dressed. My custom-tailored super fly tuxedo direct from Vietnam was delayed in production for three weeks, forcing me to rent a slim-fit tux from Men’s Wearhouse. Two lessons for you aspiring economists: being slim costs extra (my tux rental cost $180 versus a much cheaper standard fit), and that $180 is called a sunk cost. Temp...

That other emotion with cancer
Survivor guilt often hits cancer patients later one. We are diagnosed and are hit with the why me mentality. Then as we come to accept and adapt to our cancer diagnosis, we tend to meet others who are also dealing with their cancer diagnosis. Then sometimes they are not so lucky and don't make it. Then we are faced with survivor guilt.I can sympathize with this. I had thyroid cancer in 1981.When I returned to school shortly after that I lived in a dorm on a coed floor. That year the school had a mural painting contest on each floor. On the other side of the floor was an artistic student, in fact his father was an art profe...

Discussing the Accelerated Aging of Cancer Survivors
It is well known that cancer survivors who underwent chemotherapy or radiotherapy exhibit a shorter life expectancy, greater chance of unrelated cancer incidence, and greater risk of age-related disease. The most reasonable hypothesis at present is that these undesirable outcomes are the result of an increased burden of senescent cells. Historically, cancer treatments have been in large part designed to force cancerous cells into senescence, those that are not killed outright by the therapy. Since these cancer therapies are toxic to cells, they also tend to cause off-target cell death and senescence. It is possible that si...

Fear of cancer recurrence: Mind-body tools offer hope
Every year, there are more adults who have been diagnosed with cancer at some point in their lives. All of them face the uncertainty and fear that follow cancer treatments. Research shows that fear of cancer recurrence interferes with emotional and physical well-being. And it also suggests that mind-body tools can help people who have been treated for cancer regain control.
A growing number of cancer survivors
Over the past 50 years, the number of adults who have completed primary treatment for cancer has grown steadily. By 2024, an estimated 19 million will be living in the United States, a tribute to rapidly evolving opt...

Teal Is Personal: Why We Fight for Women with Ovarian Cancer
When I joined the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance last fall, I had no personal history with this disease. That changed rapidly as I began to meet and work with survivors, their families and health professionals in the field. Today, teal—the color of ovarian cancer awareness—is deeply personal to me.
Throughout this month, the Disruptive Women in Health Care blog will feature four women whose lives have been touched by ovarian cancer. They include survivors, caregivers and advocates working with us to change the course of this disease.
Ovarian cancer takes a devastating toll on women who develop the disease. About 22,0...

A Connection Between the Zika Virus and Curing Brain Cancer?
Not long ago, Zika virus was dominating headlines. A new infection was hardly ever heard about before then, yet is now affecting hundreds of thousands of people in Latin America, causing disfiguration and microcephalia in new-born babies. Microcephalia is caused by severe delayed and abnormal development of the brain, resulting in the range of intellectual disability, dwarfism, poor motor functions and speech. With no cure or even preventive vaccination available, many women in the most affected regions were reportedly considering postponing any planned pregnancies.
The virus was actually discovered back in 1947 in Zika fo...

I’m Going Over the Edge for Cancer Survivors
We all have fears in life. Some people are scared of spiders, I have a crippling fear of heights. In spite of my fear, I am making it known publicly today, that I’m facing my fear of heights in honor of those fighting cancer. On September 10th Team LIVESTRONG and I are rappelling down a 20 story building to raise money for LIVESTRONG’s free programs and services. We are literally going “over the edge” for cancer survivors.
My fear of heights has nothing on the fear people face when they find out they have cancer. At LIVESTRONG we work every day to help these individuals deal with all sorts of issues they are facing...
