I spent the day doing my monthly IV chemo in Mount Vernon. It went well. Labs drawn, but the cancer results won’t be back until later in the week. I was reflecting this morning about where I was three years ago. Cancer still active, stem cell transplant having failed. There wasn’t much to be optimistic…

I’ve uploaded episode 3 of my “Cancer Cottage / Healing Hut” Youtube series. Again, this is mostly story telling about the adventure up until this point.

This is one of the most difficult posts I’ve made here in my fifteen-year history of blogging. What you are reading, if this makes it to “press,” will be the fourth rendition of this article—me trying my best to write in a clear, concise, and a gracious manner. I’ve had a lot of emotions entangled…

When I started college, during freshman orientation week, I was paired with an “upperclassman” as a mentor. The relationship was only intended for one week. The only thing I remember him telling me, was pointing out I had misspelled my name on my nametag (“Micheal” rather than “Michael.” I’ve mentioned before I suffer from dyslexia,…
