Michael Solomon - Telling Luke

What am I supposed to tell Luke? When do I even tell him anything? How do I tell him? I remember when I was a kid and my mother was hospitalized with some problem (to this day I’m not quite sure what it was) and she was gone for a few days and then back and all right but the fear I felt is as palpable today as it was then. Where are you taking my mother? Why can’t I go?

Fran's Blog - "It's Cancer" - Excerpt from CANCER SCHMANCER

When the phone rang I was in the bathroom.  Since becoming single I always like to have a handset wherever I am in the house, in the event of an emergency.  As long as the phone is within arm's reach, I'm never really alone.  When I heard it was Doctor #8 I went into my bedroom to grab a pen and paper.  I'd learned from experience:  When speaking with a doctor about anything that concerns you, get in the habit of taking notes.

Mystery Meat? Possibly.

I recently was given a copy of a document that came from the U.S.D.A..  It was a list of chemicals that meat processing plants are allowed to use on our meat without having to label it. 

Slowing Down The Pace

My blog is a little late this week, as I have been thinking about my topic carefully. I feel I want to take a moment to talk about slowing down and making space in our lives for some peace. A few moments every day that are free from worry and all the things we have to do. I sometimes get lost in finding my facts for my mission and find myself racing around like a crazy person trying to get everything done. The idea of making time in my schedule to really relax has been coming into my mind so much recently. I’m not completely sure why.

              Lead is known to brighten colors – and that’s why it was used in paint for many years. But while Congress still fights to stop lead paint on imported toys, many women unknowingly ingest it every day in their lipstick. Lead is not a contaminant in lipstick – it is not a by-product of other ingredients – it is purposefully added to help strengthen and brighten colors – especially the color red.

 I heard the words "It's malignant."  I could not understand how this was possible.  I was a health conscious, whole food eating, organic buying, semi-tree hugging mother.  I didn't have any of the increased risk factors and yet somehow I had breast cancer.  I stopped everything and focused in on my health.  I went through 2 surgeries and 4 rounds of chemotherapy.  I stayed in bed most of the summer.  Getting up and out of bed only to go to chemo or a doctor's appointment.  I had my last round of chemo on September 2, 2010.  After a few months of recoverin
