No Backing Out Now

Posted on March 17, 2008
It's official! I registered Karly, Blake, Matthew and myself for a local 5K today. Now I'm committed. Here's hoping I make it! ************************************************************* Thank you for registering for the Run thru the Hills 5K/10K, 2008...

One More Small Step

Posted on March 11, 2008
I have sent out a few resumes in the past couple of months hoping that I would be able to find a position somewhere for this summer. You may recall that I have felt some trepidation about the interview process...

The Weather Is Beautiful, Wish You Were Here

Posted on March 04, 2008
Greetings from warm and sunny Florida! Randy and I are on Sanibel Island (near Fort Myers) for a few days with our friends Brett and Rachel and Skip and Gayle. (Gayle and Rachel will be members of The Chest Nuts...

Running Away

Posted on February 18, 2008
Back in October I purchased a one-year family membership at a local gym. This isn?t the first time we have been members of a gym, but the last time was a bit of a disaster since no one (read: Randy or I) ever actually took advantage of the membership and went...

The 3 Month Mile Marker

Posted on February 17, 2008
Last week I had a three-month post-treatment check up with my oncologist. I can?t believe it?s been three months since my last treatment. Sometimes it feels like it was just a couple of weeks ago, but most of the time it feels like it was a long, long time ago...

The Breast Cancer 3-Day Walk

Posted on February 11, 2008
For several years now I have seen the advertisements and heard the news recaps about the Breast Cancer 3 Day walk. It crossed my mind that I would like to participate somehow, but I never took it any farther than that. This year, however, I have a new and compelling reason to do something...

60 Miles in 3 Days

Posted on January 28, 2008
One of my college roommates, Courtney, sent me several e-mails last year over the course of my chemo treatments. In one of them she planted a seed that has since taken root and begun to grow. She asked if I was interested in walking in the Breast Cancer 3-Day this year...

86 Days

Posted on January 26, 2008
I snapped a couple of new hair regrowth progress pictures this morning and then decided that today was a good day to share the post-chemo images that you have been asking about. I previously took pictures 1 day post-chemo and then again 51 days post-chemo...

Changing Focus

Posted on January 24, 2008
As you may have noticed, the frequency of my posting has dropped off in the past couple of months. Part of that is due to the craziness of the holidays followed by a week of intensive school, but part of it is because I am at a point in my cancer journey where changes don?t happen every day...

More About Hair

Posted on January 17, 2008
My trial practice intensive last week was, as the name implies, intense. The days flew by, but a lot of the time it felt like I was out of town. I didn?t spend much time at home and the time I was there was spent studying and getting ready for the next day...

To Be Continued....

Posted on January 04, 2008
Just a warning that things will probably be quiet here for the next week or so. Spring semester starts tomorrow with a week-long trial practice intensive. I'll be in class every day from tomorrow through next Saturday from 9:00-5:00. Add my daily 5 hours of commuting to that and you get little time for posting...

Book Review: The Middle Place

Posted on January 03, 2008
A couple of weeks ago I received a review copy of another book, The Middle Place by Kelly Corrigan. (The first link will take you to the book on Amazon.com, the second link to Corrigan?s website and a gorgeous picture of her and one of her daughters.) The book will be published in just a couple of days on January 8, 2008, and this is one that you might want to pre-order...

Hair Today, More Hair Tomorrow

Posted on January 02, 2008
I am reveling in my return to normalcy these days, and thankfully I have lots of things to revel in lately. I enjoyed every taste of wine and champagne and beer and cookies and lasagna and ham and candy and potatoes and garlic and all the other lovely holiday treats that crossed my palate throughout the past couple of weeks...

Happy New Year!

Posted on January 01, 2008
My plan is to spend some time cozying up with my computer today in order to get caught up with some posts that have been bouncing around in my head for the past couple of weeks. These holiday weeks have been a whirlwind of family and friends, visits and parties and lots and lots of cooking and eating, and have forced me to leave any writing by the wayside...

Book Review: Dangerous Admissions

Posted on December 21, 2007
Another publisher recently contacted me to ask whether I was interested in receiving a review copy of yet another new book. Never one to pass up a free book, I said yes. I don?t know exactly how they keep finding me, but I love this added benefit of blogging...

Catching Up

Posted on December 18, 2007
I know, I know?I?ve been MIA. I?ve been a bit preoccupied with finals and shopping and fighting spam bots, but I think I?ve gotten through the worst of it all. Well, I don?t know about the spam bots, but they?re at least under control even if they?re not yet completely vanquished...

Technical Difficulties

Posted on December 07, 2007
I think the whole blog has been hijacked by the spam bots now. I can't seem to get any comments to work. If you've tried to leave a comment and you received a message that said the comment was being held for approval, I didn't get it. I'm only getting spam comments right now...

The Long and Short of It

Posted on December 05, 2007
With kudos to Anne-Marie for finding it, here is a picture of weekly post-chemo hair regrowth as documented by Karin Stack. I started to do something similar with my own regrowth, but as you can see from the 4th picture there's not much for the camera to catch yet...

Next Steps

Posted on November 29, 2007
This was my last week of classes this semester. Up next...finals. On one hand this semester feels like it has been the fastest one yet. On the other hand it feels like it has lasted for a year. I have begun reviewing some of my notes in order to start my outlines, and I am beginning to realize how much I must have had going on in my head during the last few months...

You Say Tomato, I Say To-mah-to

Posted on November 25, 2007
I have been out and about more in recent weeks and as a result I have been running into people I know. I have been surprised by the number of people who, upon seeing that I look like I feel good, ask if I am ?in remission.? And maybe that is an obvious thing to ask someone who has had cancer and is now better...

Happy Thanksgiving

Posted on November 22, 2007
I have so much to be thankful for this year. I am lucky, you know. I am here and cancer free and well on my way to good health. I have incredible people in my life and days full of love and happiness and a table full of good food in a warm house...
