I am not quite ready to move on from CureSearch and how they support Children’s Oncology Group. I remember one of my first appointments with my oncologist, Dr. Dan, when he told us about CureSearch and Children’s Oncology Group. He was very enthusiastic about how the “Pediatric World of Cancer”...

Today I am offering another suggestion for what you might do to observe National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. This suggestion is one that does not cost even a dime. You will need two arms that you can wrap around a child, and just a bit of your time. It’s time to hug that child with cancer, or...

Today I traveled to Santa Barbara to have a follow-up CT scan. Yes, I had the opportunity to consume that chalky white substance I adore so much– oral contrast. They now offer “flavors,” which is quite the deceptive trick. I chose Berry Flavor and quickly discovered that the berry photos on the...
