The Sacramento Cancer Survivors Park is the 18th park built by the Bloch Foundation. it is a tribute to those who have survived cancer. While each park reflects it's individual city, the parks all have three common elements: a bronze sculpture by the late Mexican artist Victor Salmones, featuring eight life-sized figures navigating a maze that represents cancer treatment; a positive mental attitude walk; featuring 14 plaques inscribed with inspirational messages; and a road to recover marked with seven motivational plaques. The park was designed by Forrar Williams Architects.

I believe I'm never fighting cancer alone.
I believe this new chemo will work.
I believe in a positive attitude.
I believe!
Saturday morning I went to Kits Beach and as I saw the logs on the beach, I though about how trying something or making a significant change in one's life can bring challenges.
However, I know I overcome any challenge put before me, by drawing strength from those that believe in me and by continuing to believe in myself.

After consultation with my Myeloma Specialist/Hematologist, I've made the choice to add an additional chemo to my Pomalyst chemo treatment. My December blood test results show that my cancer levels have increased from 8 in November to between 10 and 11 now. It should be more effective to have 2 chemos fighting my multiple myeloma now, before my cancer levels get too high. Multiple myeloma has severe symptoms that hopefully I can minimize with lower cancer levels.
M protein (g/L) (0 = cancer undetectable)
Dec = between 10 and 11
Nov = 8
Late Oct = 9
Early Oct = between 5 and 6
Sept = under 7.7
Aug = value missing
July = 3.0 (ended Dexamethasone)
Feb 2015 (began chemo) = 36.1
The details are still being worked out, although I hope to start soon. I'm staying positive that my cancer levels will drop - and stay down for a long time.
To recap: On Sunday, December 31st, I completed Cycle 38 Week 3. 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.
Lung cancer is the type of cancer that beings in the lungs. our lunges have two spongy organs in our chest. Which take oxygen when we inhale and release carbon dioxide when we exhale. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths. Among both men and women. Lung cancer claims more lives each year than do colon, prostate, ovarian, and breast cancer combined. People who used to smoke or smoke highly level they have the greatest risk of Lung cancer, though lung cancer can also occur in people who have never smoked. The risk of lung cancer increases with the time of smoke habit and cigarette numbers. If you quit smoking, even taking smoke for many years you can significantly reduce the chances of lung cancer. for more information : www.oncoplus.co.in/

Friday evening I travelled to Queen Elizabeth Park, one of my favourite places to visit. I had a concept in mind for my self-portrait and hoped that the forest area I chose would be a good location for catching light as the sun set. Forests are magical places.
To recap: On Sunday, August 27th, I completed Cycle 34 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.
We can. I can.
The first step in driving progress around cancer is to push for actions that we know will improve survival rates and give cancer patients a better quality of life.

The Bloch Plaza Cancer Survivor's Park near Hermann Park in Houston, Texas.
Sculpture created by the renowned Mexican sculptor, Victor Salmones, it is eight
life-size figures passing through a maze depicting cancer treatments and success.
It is placed in the most visible point in the park for passers-by because it needs no
explanation. People can walk among the figures, touch them, walk through the maze
and generally visualize themselves being helped. It is moving. The second element
in the park is a “Positive Mental Attitude Walk”. This is an area that a person can stroll
through, meditate and read some 14 plaques; 4 are inspirational and 10 are specific
suggestions on fighting cancer. The third element is The Road to Recovery. This
consists of 7 bronze plaques with common sense advice to use during treatment.
Also in Houston another focal point is a beautifully carved stone work covered in
wrought iron, the dome of which has 2,000 lights.
Anyone can call the Bloch Cancer Hotline, 800-433-0464, to obtain a list of
comprehensive cancer centers who offer second opinions.

Cancer cells can become mobile and travel in the bloodstream to invade other organs. From a physics perspective, there are clues pointing to cancer as a phenomenon influenced by forces and fields – not one that is purely ruled by genetic instructions. It is fascinating, for example, that the Young’s modulus of cells changes as cancer progresses, sometimes dramatically, while the stiffness of the tissue that cells touch can affect their gene expression – a process known as mechano-transduction.

It's hard to know how to say this.
"My father is fighting cancer." Nope. Sounds too much like a back alley brawl, and this is a much bigger deal than that.
"My father is battling cancer." Closer. Given the great chunks of medical machinery being brought to bear on his illness, "battle" seems more descriptive than "fight". But battles are (usually) parts of wars, and I'm inclined to be more explicit about that. So...
"My father has become a foot soldier in humanity's on-going war with cancer."
This seems pretty apt. We (mostly my Mom) are the support staff, providing love and support and matériel, eagerly and nervously awaiting news from the front. But he's the one in the trenches, dealing with the foot rot and the deafening machines of war and the crap rations.
The key diagnoses were last week, and luckily my wonderful sister was able to fly down from New York and be with them for several days of intense and difficult information gathering. A huge thanks to her for being there for all of us!
Dad’s got cancer of the throat. The doctors place the odds at 50/50, but the system is pretty complex and there are a whole host of things that could slip or crack. He’s got several weeks of radiation and chemo ahead, so it’s going to be a long slog (and probably a rough Christmas), but Dad and Mom and the doctors are all prepared for the fight. Saturday morning was the first skirmish; happily he came through that in excellent shape.
Everyone here in Morris has been really supportive and wonderful, for which we are extremely grateful. We're going to take off the week of Thanksgiving and will drive down to be with my parents for that week. Until then, it's fingers crossed and a lot of time on the phone.

This year's PINK Basketball games were a huge sucess in part to the hard work put in by Student Activities, the coaches, and players.
The night started with a fantastic tailgate party filled with pizza, games, and music, followed-up by the Men's and Women's Basektball teams taking on Ohio State Lima.
There were a few special treats during the games - including Trotwood Madison Middle School and Trotwood-Madison High School students who joined us for sevral performances! The gym was packed with cheers as their perfomance dance team, flag team, cheerleaders and band absoutley killed it! They did an awesome job and made the gym come alive!
Several special guests who overcame breast cancer were honored during half-time as well.
We thank everyone involved for making the night such a huge success -- and Go Tartan Pride!!!!
