Dealing with the threat of Cancer from Treatment
I am essentially “cancer free”. This fall will be the 10 year anniversary of my stage 3 breast cancer diagnosis. My feeling is that once we battle cancer we need to stay vigilant. Like any formidable enemy, cancer is continuing to lurk in the shadows. I have begun to take this threat more seriously due to the loss of my father to chemotherapy related leukemia – called Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML), 10 years after he went into remission from non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
Treatment related cancers are always a threat to those victorious over the disease. In addition to AML, there is also another leukemia call...

Palliative Care Is About Quality Of Life Throughout The Cancer Journey
A newspaper story last week caught my eye when it headlined: "Senators Revive Push for End-of-Life-Care Planning." It reported on new legislation making the rounds in Washington to address care planning for those with advanced illnesses.
You remember "end of life care planning," don't you? It was part of the Affordable Care Act debate several years ago, and quickly became translated into "death panels" where opponents made the argument that the government wanted to help people decide not to receive needed treatment. That was a moment that will live in my memory forever, and it's not a pleasant memory.
So here we are with t...

Starting a New Years Journey
Instead of a resolution for the New Year, I have decided to start a new journey. I am thinking of it as a wellness journey. The point of this journey in 2013 is to lead me to a more balanced and satisfying life. The ultimate goal is to reach a place where I live my life fulfilling my needs. I tend to only sporadically focus on my needs while trying to fulfill all that is required of me as a mother, wife and daughter. That doesn’t include a demanding work schedule and other life challenges that frequently come my way. If I can reach a destination that provides for me, then I will surely do better at providing for others.

Cancer and the Latino Community: Lessons Learned
I had the privilege this week to serve as the keynote speaker for the 4th Summit sponsored by Latinas Contra Cancer-an organization founded and led by Ysabel Duron, a formidable cancer survivor and news media presence in San Francisco.
Bringing together members of the Latino community, researchers, community health workers, promotores (more on that later) and advocates, the summit focused on the issues facing the Latino community in increasing awareness, access to care, improved treatment and research opportunities among other topics. But what was most impressive was the spirit, engagement and commitment that permeated the...

not just about breast cancer
Today's post is a guest post from the Mesothelioma Cancer Alliance. This is the first guest post ever on this blog but I wanted to share this issue and felt it would be best if someone from MCA explained the issue in their own words.Here are some facts provided by Cameron Von St. James, whose wife Heather is a mesothelioma survivor. Note that while Cameron is in the US and writes about that country, asbestos is not banned in Canada, either (Update: This is the June 16 editorial from the Globe and Mail: "Ottawa's sunny outlook on asbestos is out of step with the facts."). In fact, Canada's Mesothelioma Center says our count...

One In Four Cancer Survivors Can ’t Afford Their Medical Care–And We’re Blaming The Wrong People
According to a recent CDC survey, one in four cancer survivors struggle to pay their medical bills. An even higher number worry about whether they’ll be able to scrounge up the money to pay off their out-of-pocket healthcare costs. I’m quite comfortable blaming the healthcare industry, writ large, for this problem. Healthcare prices in the United […]
