You’re lucky to be alive. Sometimes you take it for granted, even with the constant reminder that greets you every morning in the mirror.

I was home alone every day with a deadly disease ravaging my body and trying to take my life from me. My children were in school, my disabled parents were unable to visit me, my wife was at work – providing me the insurance that was saving my life, my brother was working every day, […]

I am a cancer survivor. In August 2008 I was diagnosed with Head and Neck cancer, and an incredible and grueling journey began. A journey that included surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, depression, fatigue, hopelessness, anger, despair, and a forced view of my mortality. It was also a journey of hope, love, compassion, understanding, and renewed vigor for life. When death […]

When I first learned I had cancer, I started this blog. It has garnered enormous interest, tens of thousands of views, and many cancer fighters have expressed interest and gratitude for it.

I had my six-month PET scans this morning. If these scans come back clean, I will officially be two years into remission. I am, as you can imagine, terribly anxious to get the results. I should get a call from my doctor’s office tomorrow with the result. Until then, I will be one big bundle […]
