Michael Solomon - So You Have Cancer: 10 Things to Do Now, Even if You're Not Warren Buffett

Cancer is all over the news lately, thanks to early detection, celebrity patients, and those ubiquitous "Hey Cancer" ads. Though medical breakthroughs may be in the offing, the Big C still packs a psycho/spiritual wallop for the newly initiated, no matter what effective tax rate you pay. Here are 10 ways to beat back the cancer blues and be your own best friend:

Michael Solomon - Faust

A light rain is falling. Traffic along the narrow, newly paved road is slow and heavy. A python of automobiles snakes behind the black hearse limousine at the front of the procession. Inside the trailing vehicles, several fetchingly dressed, tormented women fight back tears, each of them asking themselves the same question: “ Why did I make such poor choices in my life? Why didn’t I seize happiness when it was within my grasp?

Michael Solomon - One-Way Street

The first thing I see when I come-to after surgery is the Indian Beauty, again, leaning over my face as I am being wheeled into the recovery area, and saying to me “the operation went extremely well.” She is not a ghost after all, but thankfully, for the first time in my life since I turned thirteen, I am so overcome with the euphoria of survival and the after-effects of anesthesia that I do not try to put the moves on her. I just smile politely.

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.
