While Adam and Eve were still in the Garden of Eden, there was no disease.
This sign describes how when they committed original sin, God created cancer. This got Jenny pretty pissed off at Adam.

Ivy:....breast cancer awareness month.
Rosy: And that is why we are all in pink.
Holly: We may be all in pink but we still look very orangey since Lindamom does not use a flash.
Ivy: That is too bad because my beanbag chair is very pink.
Rosy: Isn't that Mr. Squishy you are sitting on?
Holly: Whatever color we are wearing we are still thinking about all the women who died from breast cancer and those who survived!
Ivy: I agree!
Rosy: I agree!
Me: Five years and five months survivor!
These days, the oncologists use a Gleason score for diagnosing and staging prostate cancer. It helps the oncologists assess the extent and aggressiveness of the disease as well as to determine the treatment for the patient.

When I was diagnosed with breast cancer 3 years ago my grandmother bought me these three figurines. She knows how much I love dogs of all kinds and the ladybug in the middle has wings that open up to reveal a music box. Last year my grandmother herself was diagnosed with breast cancer, so these three figurines are very close to my heart.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and pink is the color used to show support for efforts to find a cure...Stand Proud and Keep Fighting!

A review of medical records of patients treated at an academic tertiary care center suggests that obese patients present to their physicians with more advanced stage and more aggressive forms of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC), according to a report published Online First by Archives of Surgery.
Thyroid cancer is on the rise on the United States and most of the increase is due to PTC, although the authors write that it is debatable whether the increase is caused by an enhanced risk of cancer or an increase in detection. Obesity is recognized as a risk factor for a variety of cancers, the authors provide as study background.
"Our study shows that those patients with increasing BMI have a progressively increasing risk in presenting with late-stage PTC. This finding is especially seen in the obese and morbidly obese populations," the researchers comment.
Avital Harari, M.D., and colleagues at the UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine, Los Angeles, reviewed the medical records of all patients older than 18 who underwent total thyroidectomy (removal of most or all of the thyroid gland) as an initial procedure for PTC or its variants from January 2004 through March 2011.
The final analysis included 443 patients with an average age of 48.2 years. Patients were divided into four BMI (body mass index) groups: normal (18.5-24.9), overweight (25-29.9), obese (30-39.9) and morbidly obese (=40).
"Greater BMI was associated with more advanced disease stage at presentation. Specifically, the obese and morbidly obese categories presented more as stage III or IV disease," according to the study results.
Researchers also note the obese and morbidly obese groups also presented with a higher prevalence of PTC tall cell variant, "suggesting that these groups have a higher risk of more aggressive tumor types."
"Given our findings, we believe that obese patients are at a higher risk of developing aggressive thyroid cancers and thus should be screened for thyroid cancer by sonography, which has been shown to be more sensitive in detecting thyroid cancer than physical examination alone," the authors conclude.
In an invited critique, Quan-Yang Duh, M.D., of the University of California, San Francisco, writes: "Harari and colleagues from UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles) showed us one more reason to be concerned about the current obesity epidemic - obese patients have more advanced thyroid cancer."
Duh continues: "This parallel increase in the rates of obesity and thyroid cancer is intriguing, but without a much larger population study, we cannot determine whether obesity causes thyroid cancer. However, the authors found that higher body mass index is associated with a later stage of thyroid cancer."
"For obese patients with papillary thyroid cancer, the bad news is that the cancer is likely to be more advanced. The good news is that thyroid operation remains safe even in obese patients with advanced disease," Duh concludes. thyroidcancer.livejournal.com/767.html
We can. I can.

On 24th April 2013 cancer patient and online polemicist Mark McGowan - The Artist Taxi-Driver - pushed a toy pig along the pavement four miles from Kings College Hospital where he is currently receiving treatment to Downing Street to deliver a petition from his children to David Cameron, protesting against the closure of vital services in the NHS. The toy pig (accompanied by the slogan "Where's Daddy's Pig?") represented all the greedy corporate pigs with their snouts in the obscene, lucrative trough which is NHS privatisation.
Followed the entire route by a placard-waving entourage, musicians and live bloggers using the Twitter hashtag #wheresdaddyspig, McGowan wore knee pads and leather gloves to protect himself, right up to the gates of Downing Street where, after a delay he was allowed in to deliver his petition, accompanied by loud cheers and 'oinks' from several squeezy pigs.
The Artist Taxi Driver is to carry out part two of his mission on May 22nd, when he will push his toy pig from the gates of Downing Street to the Bank of England where he will attempt to deliver a letter to the chairman, Sir Mervyn King.

This morning a hummingbird appeared outside my window, hovered, and then disappeared. Wildlife rocks! It reminded me that at anytime something unexpected can happen that will brighten my day.
Excited for tomorrow, ready for the unexpected.
To recap: On Sunday, July 1st, I completed Cycle 45 Week 1. I have Multiple Myeloma and anemia, a rare cancer of the immune system. It is incurable, but treatable. Since February 9th 2015, I have been on Pomalyst and dexamethasone chemo treatment (Pom/dex). On July 16th, my dexamethasone treatment ended, due to eye damage, as reported by my Glaucoma Specialist, from long-term use. On January 9th I began Ninlaro chemo as my cancer levels have been steadily rising.
