By the grace of our Heavenly Father have survived breast cancer. Had been given a two year timeline that should have expired this past September, 2024... turned 60 in November and extremely happy and thankful...
A small low-key celebration with a bottle of de Bortoli sparkling shiraz to accompany our evening meal to express our relief and joy that a much-loved member of our extended family who has been struggling through chemo, has now been found to be free of cancer.
Living at opposite ends of the country and all of us still in a version of lock down, this was the best we could do for the time being.

Vang-Vieng (Laos) - Photo prise à 15 bonnes minutes à pied du centre-ville en 2015.
Cette ville aujourd’hui peuplée de 20.000 habitants, était considérée jusqu’au milieu des années 1990, comme l’un des paradis terrestres. Je n’y suis malheureusement pas venu lors de mon premier voyage dans les années 1990.
De paradis terrestre, Vang-Vieng s’est muée en enfer touristique en moins de deux ans, sous les assauts des investisseurs chinois et vietnamiens, attirés par un décor de rêve autour de la rivière Nam-Song, cernée de majestueuses montagnes calcaires truffées de grottes plus ou moins sacrées.
Le tourisme de masse s’est abattu du jour au lendemain sur cette jolie vallée qui attirait depuis quelques années tous les junkies du monde. Conséquence, ce un lieu est devenu peu fréquentable avec un fort taux de criminalité.
Vang-Vieng a vite été rebaptisée " le cancer du tourisme " dans les années 2000. Mais en 2012, après avoir largement profité de la corruption, le gouvernement laotien à été obligé de mettre un terme à cette débauche, peu compatible avec l’image qu’il voulait donner du pays.
Aujourd’hui, la région est redevenue plus apaisée et sécurisée. C’est toujours un haut lieu du tourisme avec ses quads pétaradants, perturbant la tranquillité des campagnes environnantes. Mais il est possible de pratiquer un tourisme plus respectueux de l’environnement en parcourant la région à pied ou à vélo.
Vang-Vieng, the lost paradise
Vang-Vieng (Laos) - Photo taken a good 15 minutes walk from the city center.
This city, now populated by 20,000 inhabitants, was considered until the mid-1990s as one of the paradises of earth. Unfortunately, I did not stay there on my first trip in the 1990s.
From earthly paradise, Vang-Vieng has turned into hell in less than two years, under the onslaught of Chinese and Vietnamese investors, attracted by a dream setting around the Nam-Song river, surrounded by majestic limestone mountains dotted with caves more or less sacred.
Mass tourism swept over this pretty valley overnight, which for several years had attracted junkies around the world. As a result, this place has become infrequent with a high crime rate.
Vang-Vieng was quickly renamed "the cancer of tourism" in the early 2000s. But in 2012, after having profited greatly from corruption, the Laotian government was forced to put an end to this debauchery, which was hardly compatible with the image he wanted to give of the country.
Today, the region has once again become more peaceful and secure. It is still a hotspot for tourism with its backlashing quads, disturbing the tranquility of the surrounding countryside. But it is possible to practice more environmentally friendly tourism by exploring the region on foot or by bicycle.
October is breast cancer awareness month ...
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Breast_Cancer_Awareness_Month
Happy Friday
the doctors always refer to the radiation treatments as the easy part of the cancer treatment... i guess nothing is easy about cancer... after 28 treatments over 5.5 weeks... the radiation did its job as you can see by the nasty red burn... the good news is that v finished the radiation treatments on tuesday... so the cancer has officially had its butt kicked... YAY!! all that's left is cosmetic reconstruction... v&i meet with her plastic surgeon in a few weeks... he'll assess the radiation damage and determine when he can complete the reconstruction... it will likely be this fall...
we plan to do a little celebrating this weekend... (and if you look closely... v's hair is making a nice comeback!!)
As my Camera is being away serviced my submission for todays Macro Monday Theme of 'Zodiac" is this dried out tiny baby crab that did not make it to the sea.. HMM
Just for information .Cancer, which is Latin for crab, is the dimmest of the 12 constellations of the Zodiac, having only two stars above the fourth magnitude
Today I just have to upload something pink for the Day against Breast Cancer.
Dedicated to all the women in the world.

Câncer
Vamos chorar?
Câncer é chorão.
Câncer se magoa com facilidade.
Câncer é manipulador.
Câncer sempre tem dinheiro escondido.
Câncer é um signo da água, regido pela lua e é um signo feminino. Ligado a família, a valores tradicionais e ao romantismo.
Resumindo: Uma caretice só.
Câncer fica magoado com qualquer bobagem e fica remoendo esta bobagem e um dia, do nada, no meio de uma feijoada com amigos solta o verbo:
-Aquele dia você não me ofereceu pastel. Você é egoísta, não pensa nos outros.
E você fica ali pasmado, tentando entender aquilo.
Câncer é o mestre em soltar aquela frase:
-Depois de tudo o que eu fiz por você…
E você ficará com o peso na consciência, se sentindo um personagem do filme ‘O Albergue’.
Mas é exatamente aí que reside à força do canceriano.
A força da manipulação...
Com este jeito de coitado, de calado de ‘na dele’, ele consegue empregos, amigos, amantes e vai acumulando conquistas.
Câncer adora acumular, guardar, colecionar.
Sempre tem um dinheiro guardado, um dinheiro que ninguém sabe que ele tem.
E Câncer é pão duro.
Mas também é muito dedicado a família.
É sempre aquele filho que vai á feira com a mãe, é sempre a menina que limpa a casa, é sempre o enteado que vai ao Bradesco para a madrasta.
É aquele signo que te deixa dormindo sozinha no motel porque ‘não posso dormir fora de casa.’
Câncer adora namorar e é bom que o faça, porque câncer sem namoro firme é farra na certa.
O lado B do canceriano é quase um ‘lado c’, colega.
Adoram bordéis, saunas e estes lugares modernos tipo… frequentados por casais.
Mas namorando são românticos, protetores e sensíveis.
E cuidado com o olhar de peixe morto deles, seduz todo mundo.
Adoram ficar em casa e se possível, teriam a balada delivery, de tanto que gostam de ficar em casa de moletom,arrastando os chinelos.
É também aquela pessoa insuportável que demora meia hora no banho e quando sai… dá lhe vapor.
A mulherada canceriana é delicada, feminina e tem aquele ar maternal.
Sempre comanda a família, e consegue ‘arrancar dinheiro do marido’, e com as futricas certas, sobem rápido na empresa.
Aliás, trabalham muito e bem e são astutas.
Cancerianas sempre sobem de cargo.
E são meninas para namorar.
E se fossem prostitutas, seria por pouco tempo. Nasceram é para a cafetinagem. Rsrsrsrsrsrrsrsrrs.
Today's a special day for us. This is to give definite hope to anyone who has cancer, has had cancer or who knows someone with cancer. My other half was operated on 5 years ago and had his left lung removed. Here he is now! I can't keep up with him. :o)

Who was that masked man?
For 37 days I spent 20 minutes a day pinned to a table with this mask as I received 11 one-minute radiation exposures at each session.
Yes, this is the same photo used in the head and neck cancers article on wikipedia. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head_and_neck_cancer
Bell 1) Breast cancer 2012.
Bell 2) sternum 2015.
Bell 3) spine 2016 today.
This journey is not over. I will always have to go through radiation treatments whenever one of the tumors acts up. I'm still going through chemo.
With Pep by my side, and so many goals to fulfill, I will keep on fighting for as long as I can. A friend shared this with me today, something I needed a reminder of.
This is my daughter, Jill. She was diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer when she was 3 years old. I posted this picture to honor her. Jill was a fighter through her surgery and then continued the battle with chemo and radiation treatments. She is an inspiration to us and we are extremely thankful that we still have her with us! ...Never stop smiling! :)

Looks like i'll be moving into my dads house for about 2 months, here in a week or two. He's going to be starting chemo, and needs someone to take care of him... Fucking cancer, I just rid myself of it, and now it comes back to plague someone that I love. Id stab cancer in the eye if I could.
I'll have to leave my job to go take care of him... I'm hoping to have my position when I get back. *sigh* I love my job. I love my dad more tho...
I wonder how i can keep the house going, the bills, the blah blah blah shit that really shouldn't matter at a time like this.
I'm completely overwhelmed.
today sucks
Baxter and I got some bad news today. My dad has cancer. Don't really know how to deal with it...so I took a picture of what my day looks like today.

Part of my series on my experience with cancer as told by a lightman. This is a collection of over 10 years worth of medication that I kept figuring one day I might want to make photos since at the time I was too sick to do it.
I'm thinking of creating a Light Painting charity group, check out the discussion on Light Junkies.

If your a light painter or interested in light painting check out this new light painting group Shining Light on Cancer. Thanks.
day 335/365
October is breast cancer month.Breast cancer is a disease that has many forms and affects both men and women. The cancer not only affects the people diagnosed with it, but the families of those loved ones. Many people lose their family members and friends to this horrid disease. Many people acknowledge that breast cancer exists, and accept the fact that it exists. Its time we acknowledge the problem and reject its existence. Its existence is not okay as it not only harms people’s bodies, but takes their lives away. It is time to do something. Sadly, research is expensive.
Throughout this month, this blog will post facts about breast cancer and post pictures that can be bought. The money that the pictures collect will go towards breast cancer research and awareness funds. The prints can be bought at any price you wish to donate ( minimum 6$). If you are interested in donating, leave a message in the ask box or flickr message me and I will get back to you with more details. It is time to do something about this disease. It is time to put an end to its reign of terror. It is time to act.
During treatment, there were days when Robin couldn't get out of bed. She passed the time by dreaming about ways to become more creative with her photos, and photography soon became a welcome escape from the reality of her battle with cancer. She began following conceptual portrait photographers on Flickr and became inspired by their work. "I immediately knew that this was a world I needed to be a part of."
