Reclamation!

I'm reclaiming this blog. It's been a while since I've been here. New computer, new keyboard, new respect for potential built-in followers already on Google's website. Welcome aboard.

No news, just feelings (Imported from benvscancer.com 23AUG15)

23 August 2015 As the title suggests, there’s nothing new here, so if you’re looking for more news, you can go back now. Tomorrow I start the chemotherapy and radiation, and honestly, I’d rather not have to. I’ve been reading the information provided by the doctors, clinical studies, blogs, listening to podcasts (Jesse vs Cancer – not family friendly by any means), and hanging out on some forums, but I still feel like I’m not prepared for this. Despite how many people go through cancer and cancer treatments, it’s a disease that is very isolating. I have no idea what to expect tomorrow, and that’s partly because the treatments are very personalized. Bloodwork is done, and then the drugs are prepared tailored for exactly how you are that day. You may experience neuropathy, you may not. Your hair may fall out, it may not. You may end up with a different color hair after, or curly or straight, or you may not. You could get constipation or diarrhea (but not both) or you may not....

AntiVirus Choices

Party Time!

I tend to avoid politics in my public everyday life, but I do have some strong views that sometimes go against the views of others of my beliefs. Confused? Let me explain. I was raised Christian, which in the Northeast, means Republican. You vote for the person against homosexual marriage, against abortion, and against cloning and stem cell research. Lately, I've been disagreeing with this philosophy for a number of reasons. The President, while having the final say on a law, does not make or break laws in and of himself. Thus, their own personal convictions have less to do with the laws that are passed or not passed then those of our Senators and Representatives. This country is more or less a business. We have budgets, committees, other corporations (countries) that we do business with/against, shareholders (citizens), and products for sale.  Shouldn't our CEO (President) be the best person for the business, instead of the best leader in their Church/Synagogue/Temple/whatever...
