The Susan G Komen Foundaton continues its Hindenburg-esque disaster campaign. Today, they’ve issued this press release. I’ve inserted some translations. “We want to apologize to the American public for recent decisions that cast doubt upon our commitment to our mission of saving women’s lives.” Translation: We’re sorry we didn’t realize that the vast majority of people . . . → Read More: More lessons in how not to do things I posted previously about the asinine decision by the Susan G Komen (SGK) foundation to drop grants for Planned Parenthood. I’ve posted previously about the Dervaes and how they managed to destroy their goodwill and reputation in the span of about 24 hours. It seems that some people, so intent as they are of bending . . . → Read More: Some never learn For those of us with trismus – mine from radiation and eating through a tube for nine months – oral issues are a huge and ongoing problem. For those of us with damaged salivary glands due to radiation, limited oral openings make necessary dental visits both excruciating and frustrating. Add to this the general annoyance . . . → Read More: Progress It’s apparently pretty much inevitable that if you don’t have your teeth pulled prior to surgery/radiation/chemo that you’ll end up losing them/having them pulled at some point down the road, based on everything I’ve read, heard, seen, and experienced. So, a bit of advice both very specific to this and for general purposes: make sure . . . → Read More: Advice for oral cancer patients I worked. I cooked. Worked. Cooked. The usual.

This is why we thought maybe I’d been walking around with a touch of pneumonia rather than with a dome sized lesion on the upper lobe of my right . . . → Read More: Draining. Literally. The former more than the latter, to be completely honest, as it was a long drive to the dentist this morning via my usual path that takes me past vast swaths of land that is protected or that is part of the lands to parks program. I am also not partial to growing roses, or . . . → Read More: I see trees of green…red roses too Everyone is always after results: test results, harvest results, weather results, sports results. The results we received from the oncologist were, I must admit, those I had suspected would be the case. The sample was negative for the markers for which it was tested, as I knew it would be – after all, if the . . . → Read More: Moving forward The great rice experiment of 2010 is a bust.
