Surviving Cancer
In my post yesterday, I said that you can prevent cancer from coming back by living a healthy lifestyle. I knew that my lifestyle was considerably less than it should have been.

Official Cancer Survivor
Yesterday I had an appointment with my oncologist to review my recent PET
Scan, chest ex-ray and blood work. He congratulated me by saying,
“you are now an “official” Cancer Survivor“. I was diagnosed in 2005 and

I wasn’t too surprised at that. After all, I went through a lot in my battle with cancer. One of my hospital stays lasted 32 consecutive days during which [...]

On January 7th, I posted an article called I’m beginning to feel Like a Cancer Magnet. I had a growth removed from my arm and was told it was something called, Keratoacanthoma.
