My dad celebrates his last chemo session in two weeks with great anticipation for a future free of rashes and full of ice cream and ice cold soda. Next comes Dad’s surgery to remove any suspicion and worry of Cancer’s return. 2007 challenged souls with unexpected peaks [...]

make even the most grueling procedures more bearable. Every two weeks I send my father, who is undergoing cancer treatment in California, a stack of my daughter’s pictures taken of whatever activities she engaged in during the week. At first I wanted to create stories of her adventures to send in a little brag book but the [...]

I just watched Oprah’s show featuring haircuts and, most importantly, Hilary Swank’s cut for Pantene’s Beautiful Lengths. What a great cause, giving hair to make wigs for cancer patients. It’s so simple and moving for someone like Hilary to direct media attention to a cause that takes little effort for the average person to contribute and [...]

…or so it says. My sixth grade students loved the sound of that poem but they couldn’t quite grasp the meaning, or discover one of their own, which means I didn’t lead them very well but that’s another story. I love The Golden Compass books. Much like the Harry Potter movies, I am skeptical about viewing [...]

So what do you do when you get the call that the illness your father is suffering from is caused by cancer and grueling treatment sessions are immanent? Being there to go and hold his hand is a great start but then keeping his spirits strong as well as his body becomes the goal. I have [...]

Our weather in Maine today was simply breathtaking. A light breeze, temperatures in the low 70’s, and fall foliage blowing color through the air, across the road, and, ultimately, all over the lawn.

I’ve never gone through any cancer treatments personally but like most people in this world I have been touched by friends and family struggling through the process. Lately there have been numerous articles, often humorous, discussing what to do and not do and say to a cancer patient. We all want the best. We want to [...]
