Long Time, No Post
I am making an early New Year’s commitment: rebuilding this blog. This is the longest period I have ever been away from the blog. I have been busy with my job at the hospital. My mother requires ever more care. And I have technical issues to solve with the software and blog host.
In the next few weeks I need to move my databases and blog content from an Apache server in San Francisco to a “cloud”. I have been putting this off because I have some anxieties about losing everything. A lot of time, work, and energy went into this. Wish me luck!
I am also having issues adding to the blog list. ...

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&#...

Honoring Mary – guest post
Renn just passed her first year anniversary as a breast cancer blogger. In this post she honors a fellow traveler whose journey had recently comes to its end. Renn writes at The ‘Big C’ and Me
HONORING MARY
Another bright light has been extinguished by breast cancer.
Mary (aka MBJ on BCO) has died.
Doctors gave her four months. She was gone in six weeks. Her passing has left the online breast cancer community at a loss for words.
Cancer is some scary sh*t.
I feel a need to honor this lovely woman who was so generous in spirit and insight; who always had a kind word to spare no matter where you found you...

A Mad Cancer World – guest post
This one comes from a young woman diagnosed with AML, acute myelocytic leukemia. She writes at Girl With The Swirl
While I’m not caught up in ad world, I’m trying to take more small walks. Here’s the current predicament, which is pretty minor in the grand scheme of things. I’m pretty sure I have muscle atrophy from completely suspending all my physical activities I used to do 8 months ago + 2 1/2 weeks of solid bed rest have now left me tired and sore from being in the same positions. It’s like my bed has a crater and I’m a moon unit officially parked on it. So in my attempt to g...

A Year in Black – guest post
Got an email last week from Beth Fox who lost her son to cancer. So this is a bereavement blog, a tribute. The web design is interestingly different. Learning to navigate it is its own voyage of discovery. Beth writes at A year of Black
Spring is coming. In my house we love the outdoors, we spend lots of time hiking and walking and going to the park. Nolan was famous for bringing a sword everywhere he went and he protected all of us from the usual horrors, aliens, rattlesnakes and imaginary dinosaurs. He loved hiking and we made up names for the trails we went on and I still call them those names when I run,...

Life in the Slow Lane – guest post
Here is a blogger from “down under”. In her email Liz wrote “I’m writing to you from Australia’s ‘Top End’. I’ve just started a blog called ‘Paw Paw Salad’ about living with breast cancer, and life in this part of the world (I was diagnosed only a short time after moving here from the Big Smoke – it’s been one hell of a journey!). This site is a great initiative – I’ve already had fun checking out different blogs, and plan to do much more. I’d love it if people popped in for some ‘salad’ and to say hi! Cheers” ~Paw P...

Sharing Your Cancer Diagnosis – guest post
For a lot of us this problem presents itself right at a time when you really have too many other things to worry about: you are newly diagnosed with cancer. Who to tell? When to tell them? For Dee, today’s guest blogger, the problem was magnified by the extra sensitivity surrounding her diagnosis of vaginal cancer. Dee just started her blog in January at WHAT kind of cancer?
Please give her a visit.
Sharing your diagnosis….to tell, or not to tell
Having a cancer diagnosis, particularly a vaginal cancer diagnosis, brings with it the awkward position of either having to tell people what’s going ...

Cancer on our Calendar – guest post
A dreary wet Monday after a gorgeous sunny Sunday. Being it is the second week of March though, I can’t complain. Crocous have been in bloom for weeks now. Tulips starting to bud. Trees and bushes too. It really feels like Spring. But this evening I must return to work at the clinic where it is still a cold winter for some.
Today’s breast cancer blogger hails from the UK. Yvonne has been penning her posts for a little over a year now. I decided to include her “About me” profile as it is such a succinct and well written introduction to writing about cancer. You can find Yvonne at time...
