10.19.09 - bonjour, Paris!



with my youngest son matt, who held my hand when each chemo started, who was my wonderful support throughout the entire breast cancer experience.

it's been one year this month since the mammograms, the MRI, the biopsy, and the reality of cancer. and tomorrow morning i'll be meeting my oldest son in paris! a year ago i could never have imagined what was ahead of me, not only the difficult times, but especially the way cancer would change my life for the better. i feel terrific, have a new crop of hair, and i could not be happier. la vie est belle!

Hope you'll have a nice time in Paris. paris is my dream city, imagining Van gogh and all impressionist and post imperssionist painters, modern poets and intellectuels in the cafes.

Hello Deborah!

I wanted to let you know about an interesting cancer blog a group of cancer patients have been working on.

A fellow tongue cancer patient was sent home to die. There was nothing more that can be done. Cancer survivors ask him life altering questions.
