Welcome to my life...





Hello, kind reader, and thanks for coming! You are probably reading this because you fall into one of the following categories:

1. My family
2. My near and dear friends
3. You accidentally typed in the wrong URL

But if, by chance you are not a part of one of those categories I hope you will still take a minute to read some of my posts. What I'm all about is cancer, particularly adolescent cancer. I had it, I owned it, I beat it, and here I am today. I am now getting my doctorate doing research with adolescent cancer patients and survivors. I came out okay on the other end of something awful, and now I want to make a difference by helping others. The way I see it, it's all about support--helping each other, seeing that someone has been there and made it. When I was 16 I felt completely alone, and I don't want others to feel that way. My idea is that maybe we can help each other by talking and sharing our stories. So here are some of mine...

Apologies

Hello friends, I am so sorry for my absence. Of course, I would end up taking an unintentional leave of absence after a posting discussing my intention of writing more frequently now! The fact of the matter is that apparently school is difficult. And trying to balance school with work and studying for comps, etc. is apparently a bit impossible. Well, not impossible, but it makes all other things inconvenient. I ask for your patience and understanding while I try to still carve out my niche this semester (and beyond).

For now, please know that I think of you all often and that the guilt of having not written eats me up (to the point of preventing me from writing...ever felt that way?). But I hope you have not given up on me, and that you will continue to follow my (rather dull but ongoing) adventures. Take very good care, and for those of you who will find importance in this statement, happy Mardi Gras!
