" I couldn't let October's Breast Cancer Awareness (but not prevention) Month come to a close without posting a satire cartoon exposing all the pinkwashing we've seen that month. You can buy everything in pink these days, from bottled water to fried chicken, alcohol and even handguns. So why not cigarettes? All these pink products claim to give some mystery percentage of "net profits" (which could be zero if the company isn't profitable) to "find a cure for cancer" (a ridiculous proposition since we already have natural cures for cancer).
It's all part of the cancer industry's brainwashing propaganda that tries to convince people that we can cure cancer by going shopping! "

This week I travelled to Rice Lake in Lynn Valley. I was a bit lost trying to find the lake and the orientation maps didn't seem to help me. As the light faded, I stumbled upon an idyllic clearing, perfect for play. Nature is beautiful and peaceful on the North Shore and I look forward to returning soon.
Studies have shown that a person's genes can cause an increased risk in breast and ovarian cancer. This infographic shows the chromosomal mutations and the risk they can pose.
According to the National Cancer Institute, studies have shown that inherited mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes account for 5-10 percent of all breast cancers and 15 percent of all ovarian cancers. While genetic testing is encouraged only for those who have a family history of breast or ovarian cancer, education and awareness are important to early detection and treatment.
How can a better understanding of the cause of these genetic mutations help further the cause of finding a cure for cancer?

Week 31 chemo complete: Cancer levels dropped again
I had my monthly big blood test about a week and a half ago, and I’m pleased to report that my cancer levels (igG) are lower again.
My Cancer levels (normal range is 6.7 - 15.2 igG).
Sept 12.9
Aug 14.8
July 15.7
My Beta 2 Globulin (protein where my cancer resides) also dropped. Normal range is 1.8 - 4.8 g/L.
Sept 9.2
Aug 10.7
July 11.4
This photo taken at Wreck Beach represents my attitude right now. Although there was a steady rain falling, it didn’t matter. I’m in a happy mood, enjoying life, and focused on positivity each day.
To recap: On Sunday September 14th, I completed Cycle 8 Week 3. I have multiple myeloma and anemia, a rare cancer of the blood plasma. It is treatable, but incurable. On Sept 21th I begin my ninth 28 day treatment cycle, 21 days on (Pomalyst chemo pill), then 7 days off. I take dexamethasone, an oral steroid, every Monday.
I’m feeling great and my chemo treatment will continue indefinitely as long as my cancer levels remain low and stable. Thank you for your continual encouragement.

I love taking photos during the final hour of sunset aka the magic hour as the light always looks amazing. I tried something new by cloning out the mirror’s reflection in Photoshop so that it appeared to be a window through my body. It was a fun learning experience and I’m happy with the result.
To recap: On Sunday, May 8th, I completed Cycle 17 Week 1. I have Multiple Myeloma and anemia, a rare blood cancer. It is incurable, but treatable. From February to November 2013, I received Velcade chemo through weekly in-hospital injections as an outpatient. Since February 9th 2015, I have been on Pomalyst and dexamethasone chemo treatment (Pom/dex).
This morning I spent time in quiet reflection as the sun rose in the distance. Each day I try my best to stay happy and positive and appreciate what life has to offer. I believe that positivity and minimizing stress in my life are effective tools for fighting my multiple myeloma.
Last week I had my March blood test and the results are good. My general cancer marker (igG) and my specific cancer marker (Beta 2 Globulin) remained stable, although both increased slightly.
My igG (general MM protein marker) remained stable. Normal range is 6.7 - 15.2 igG.
Mar 11.7
Feb 10.4
Jan 10.1
Jan 2015 33.4 (pre-chemo)
Beta 2 Globulin (specific protein marker for my particular type of MM) dropped. Normal range is 1.8 - 4.8 g/L.
Mar 6.3
Feb 5.9
Jan 6.5
Jan 2015 30.6 (pre-chemo)
My igG is still within normal range. As neither marker jumped, it means that the chemo is still effective at suppressing my multiple myeloma.
My Hematology profile (how my body responds overall to being on treatment) continues to remain good.
Hematology Profile
WBC 6.8 (normal levels 4 - 11)
Hemoglobin 133 (135-170) - since I have anemia, slightly below normal levels
Blood Platelets 339 (150-400)
Neutrophils 5.9 (2.0 - 8.0)
To recap: I have multiple myeloma and anemia, a rare cancer of the blood plasma. It is treatable, but incurable. On Sunday, March 27th I completed Cycle 15 Week 3 of my four week treatment cycle. I have 21 days on (Pomalyst chemo pill) and then 7 days off. In addition, I take dexamethasone, an oral steroid, every Monday.

I have my October blood test results and I’m pleased to report that my cancer levels are lower this month.
M Protein (g/L)
Oct = 2.3
Sept = 2.8
Aug = value missing
July = value missing
June = 1.9
May = 1.7
Apr = 2.5
Mar = 3
The M Protein is a complete and accurate measure of the cancer/myeloma in my body, it consists 100% of abnormal protein. A zero value means no cancer is detected in my blood. The Beta 2 and igG measures I’ve previously discussed, contain good and abnormal protein and therefore aren’t as accurate.
I’m maintaining a positive outlook on life!
To recap: On Sunday, October 9th, I completed Cycle 22 Week 3. I have Multiple Myeloma and anemia, a rare blood cancer. It is incurable, but treatable. From February to November 2013, I received Velcade chemo through weekly in-hospital injections as an outpatient. Since February 9th 2015, I have been on Pomalyst and dexamethasone chemo treatment (Pom/dex).

The Wind Beneath My Wings - Bette Midler
You must listen to this song. It's so beautiful it makes me cry.
You know, I have this weird habit of writing things on my wrists with permanent markers all the time and I'm starting to think I'm actually going to get skin cancer in the future...
Oh! By the way, I wrote both You are and My strength, this means a lot of work, mainly on the right hand since I am right-handed. It was funny and pretty difficult, but I eventually got it x)
I like this a lot :)
The World Cancer Day is a global observance that helps raise people’s awareness of the cancer and how to prevent, detect and treat it. The world cancer day is held on February 4th of each year.

In 2000 I designed a tattoo for a friend of mine that was comprised of his astrological birth sign, Cancer, and his rising sign, which was Leo. Cancer, the crab, is seen with the glyph for the sign as part of its back colouring, reaching up to the sign of Leo, above it. The sun disc of Leo surrounds the lion but also contains a crescent moon, the ruling 'planet' for Cancer.
Done as a shoulder piece, the tattoo went from Phillippe's shoulder down almost to his elbow. It won First Prize, Medium Colour, at the 2000 Northern Ink Exposure in Toronto. The Tattoo artist was multi award winning Jamie Izumi of Tora Tattoo in Waterloo, ON, Canada.
Later that year I dropped the design into Photoshop and made an art piece out of it for my portfolio. Phillippe had a framed copy of it in his home until he died in 2008.
The original tattoo design and this art variation, are, of course, copyright and are not to be used without my expresss written permission.
Phillippe was an incredibly dedicated Madonna fan. He had one of the largest and most extensive collections of Madonna posters, picture discs and memorabilia in the world. His collection was documented and Phillippe was interviewed on television not long before he died, talking about his collection. This song is for him, as he really was a "Ray of Light".

UPDATE (April 2011): Seems we couldn't get an accurate report from my gynecologic oncologist. According to my other oncologist (the one who will be performing my chemotherapy), the washings showed cancer cells in them. Therefore, even though the report said 3A, this would make it a 3C. She was very encouraging though. She said that treatment for ovarian cancer is better than it was even a few years ago. Also, she said it's "treatable and still potentially curable". When I asked her what the chances are of it recurring within the next 5 years, she said about 1 in 2. But, we have a great God! Regardless of the outcome, he is there with me and my family. Your continued prayers would be greatly appreciated.
Up until last Thursday, 3/17/11, we had believed that my cancer was Stage 2. No one told us otherwise. However, apparently that is not the case. It's Stage 3A, Grade 3. Please continue to keep us in your prayers. Thanks!
During a surgery I had last week for cervical dysplasia (precancerous growth), additional exploratory surgery was performed at which point suspicious spots were found. After being biopsied and after additional tests were run, it showed that I have ovarian cancer. Tomorrow at 10:20am E.S.T., I will be having a complete hysterectomy (which will include removal of my ovaries and fallopian tubes). My family and I would greatly appreciate your prayers.

Years ago, I vowed to take pictures of every machine that took pictures of me. A few times, I missed an opportunity, but in general I've done pretty well.
Cancer patients get lots of scans. I've had bone scans, CAT scans, PET scans, and MRI scans. These show whether a treatment is working or whether the disease is progressing. They are status updates.
My latest was done at a Mass General Imaging Center in Waltham. What a nice place! They had weekend hours, which meant I got in and out without having to deal with workaday traffic.
