This is Nana.

 

Nana is my wife’s grandmother, however, she feels much like my own. I can say a lot about her, all positive, as she is incredibly inspiring. Having gone through a hip replacement, she was still dancing at the reception at our wedding. Since then, she has battled with more surgeries and even fought breast cancer, having won that battle as well. One of the reasons she is so inspiring is not simply because of her victories, but how her head was held high during the fight. Always positive, always smiling, always knowing she would come out on top.

 

She is a survivor.

It was the morning of the dojo Karate tournament. I arrived early to allow my children a chance to warm up before the other competitors started to crowd the floor. A small area of chairs had been arranged where observers were permitted to view the goings on. One person was sitting alone who had arrived prior to my arrival. Since I didn’t already know her, I introduced myself. I am at the dojo several times a week, and am acquainted with most families who have students training there. Somebody new is an easy mark. We had 15 minutes before the noise level would become unruly, so our conversation started naturally.

 

Meet Maureen, 21/100 in my Strangers project.

 

The moment she began to speak, I was pleasantly astounded to hear a familiar accent; one that is uncommon to Albuquerque because it comes from more than 2200 miles/3688 km away. Though she was born in New York City, Maureen had later lived in a city North of Boston named Lynn, Massachusetts for 20 years, before relocating to 'Burque. I grew up in a small town with only one other municipality in between us and Lynn. My own accent is far less distinguishable although I use a few expressions in common speech that reflect an upbringing from that same area, known as Boston's North Shore. We had a serendipitous connection. It was one of those wild, "It's a small world," moments.

 

Maureen is a retired Psychiatric nurse who used to work at Lynn's Union Hospital, a small facility now part of the North Shore Medical Center. She was involved with the care of schizophrenic and dually-diagnosed patients. After she finished graduate school, she divorced and a friend invited her to move to Albuquerque for a change of scenery.

 

“Why not? I can always go back,” She thought. Never did she move back east; she has remained here. Her adult children now also live in Albuquerque and they have given her the pleasure of nearby grandchildren. She pointed out two boys in belts of yellow, the first level that beginners may test into. They were going through some basic movements. Those were her grandchildren and she was excited to watch them compete.

 

In 1996, Maureen decided to learn Shotokan Karate, and in fact, she studied under the same Sensei with whom my own children are now students. She became a black belt at 60 years old. While it gave her a sense of confidence in her surroundings, she has never used martial arts to defend herself in the world outside the dojo. Around ten years ago, she had to quit her Karate practice. She had been a long time cigarette smoker, and was diagnosed with lung cancer.

 

“I’m all clear now,” she said, “But a large portion of a lobe of one of my lungs was removed.” Since the operation, Maureen finds it frequently challenging to breathe at our high altitude; we live a mile high (1.6 km) above sea level. She is planning a move to Florida, which is sea level, where breathing should be easier for her.

 

I asked if she had any thoughts to impart to other strangers:

 

“To live in the moment. Self-discipline leads to self-understanding, but living in the moment is the way.”

 

Once she retired from Karate, she enrolled in art classes. She has learned oil painting and clay sculpting. She is now taking drawing classes and acrylic painting to enhance her appreciation of form. Her opinion is that her work in 3-dimensions improves by creating in 2-dimensions.

 

After all of this candid sharing, I asked if she would allow me to photograph her for the 100 Stranger project. She wanted to hear more about it. I then shared my own images of the other strangers already in my set. I told her that I would appreciate being able to include her, and we would still have time before the competition started.

 

In agreement, we walked outside and she paused in a few areas underneath the roof line where I could find indirect sunlight. I wanted to avoid the glare that I experienced while making my 17th portrait since this was being taken in the same location.

 

When I finished her photo session, we returned to our original seats. I asked her if in addition to her portrait, she would want me to take a few photographs of the grandchildren while they were called on to compete. She thought that was a grand idea.

 

A day after she received the pictures, Maureen replied and told me her portrait, and the action shots of the boys, were all great. She told me, "my son-in-law 'practically demanded copies.'" I enjoyed a way to share something extra with Maureen after her time with me. I found her to be quite remarkable.

Zooie has been favoring his hind quarters for the last several days. Last week he fell a couple times (he slips on the hardwoods and linoleum on occasion) and ended up splayed on the floor. We felt he probably was a little sore so we decided to watch him.

 

Yesterday, when outside in the backyard with him, he stopped at the bottom of the stairs and wouldn't go up. I encouraged him and he slowly made his way to the top. When he got there, he lifted his left leg up and hobbled to the door. I studied his legs and saw that the "elbow" of his posterior, left leg was very swollen. I felt it and it was firm to the touch. Zooie pulled away from my hand. Okay........my boy had a firm mass on his elbow. The last time he had a firm mass, it was.........c.....a.....n.....c.....e......r...........

 

I called my vet. No, it wasn't an emergency, I told the receptionist. "But, please tell Dr. Miller that Zooie has a firm, painful mass on his posterior, left ulna (elbow)". She left the phone for a minute or two after telling me the office was swamped. When she came back, she said that the doctor had surgery all day the next day (today) but if I brought Zooie in at 8 a.m. he'd see him then.

 

Okay...now fast forward to this morning. I brought Zooie in to my vet, thinking that my boy had cancer again. Lots of deep breaths later, as Dr. Miller examined the "mass" , I was so scared the words out of his mouth would verify my worst fears. "I think it's a fracture", he said. "A FRACTURE?".........a fracture!...........whew.....but how did he get a fracture? Must have been from one of his spills. My boy doesn't have cancer! The radiograph verified a fracture. It also showed buckshot around the joint. The buckshot is from before Zooie came to me. He has lots of buckshot in his left foreleg and backleg from when some shot at him, my poor boy. Despite his full O.R. schedule, my vet went over the x-ray with me in detail and then splinted the leg. My boy doesn't have cancer!

 

On another day, I wouldn't be so happy about a fracture, but my boy doesn't have cancer. He's gonna be okay...........we just have to severely limit his activity for 6 weeks and keep the leg splinted. I woke up this morning thinking the worst. I go to bed tonight so relieved that at least for today, Zooie does not have to face cancer again. He's groggy from the pain medicine but for today.....Zooie is OKAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

   

Cancer Survivor: Troy Blakely, Talent Agent, Age at diagnosis, 44

Squamous cell carcinoma, 1994,

 

When I was diagnosed, everyone said to me, “You’re the healthiest person I know. You run marathons and eat brown rice all the time.” How can you get cancer? They didn’t know the other side of me, the stress side. I was in a place in my life where I was very unhappy and stressed out, a lifestyle conducive to giving cancer the chance to take root.

It took facing death to learn to live.

I am happy to say that my sweet Zooie is doing better.

 

Today I was able to remove the dressing from the ulcer on Zooie's knee. It has healed enough that I am no longer worried about infection. The ulcer on his "elbow" is also healing but is deep enough to require further dressing. Because of the ulcers, the splint remains off Zooie's broken leg.

 

I admit I dread putting that splint back on again. I'm not sure how we'll prevent further ulcers from developing. I guess it's still just one day at a time right now. I am happy to say that despite missing his daily walks, Zooie is in good spirits. I try to spend time with him on the couch so he stays quiet. I'm catching up on sewing and some other projects I've neglected. Zooie is enjoying his extra bully sticks while his leg heals!

 

I am so blessed to have my boy with me two years after his cancer diagnosis! He is such a fighter! I can't imagine ever loving a dog more than I love this special boy. He's my heart!!

(Lefty finally passed in April of 2010, living twice as long as similar, healthy birds to in the wild.)

 

This bird, as you see, only has one wing. About 10 years ago it was amputated because of a malignant growth that could not be stopped.

 

He is fine. He prowls his territory in the aviary proudly and takes no guff from the plovers and doves that share the ground near him.

 

He has become my talisman, since I have recently been diagnosed with agressive prostate cancer. I am tentatively scheduled for surgery on April 13. I may not be posting for a while after that. I will keep my friends advised. Wish me luck.

It is easier to flush a pet fish......sigh.

 

I am putting my sweet dog, Stella, to sleep this morning. It is an emotional decision. Stella has Cushing's Disease and I am no longer able of keeping her happy and healthy. She is showing signs of distress with the failure of her body. I rescued this wonderful animal and she stood by my side through the cancer treatments (better than any man). I owe her the dignity to die without shame.

Take the yellow brick road to Oz. But, beware when it is gets late.

Part of a series on my experience with cancer, collected over 10 years worth of bottles and needles since I was too sick at the time to document it, I thought one day I might want to make some art out of this.

I'm thinking of creating a Light Painting charity group, check out the discussion on Light Junkies.

Cancer Survivor: Shoshana Silver, Immigration Attorney, Age at diagnosis, 16, Synovial cell sarcoma, 1999

 

Cancer is something that happens to other people. Suddenly all the small things in life were just bullshit. They didn’t mean anything. It seemed like all of a sudden I knew what was true and what wasn’t.

I no longer feel invincible like a lot of young people do. I ask my friends who are smokers, “Why do you think it won’t happen to you? You went through it with me.” I hope they don’t have to learn their vulnerability or harsh realities. Innocence is something that everyone deserves to hold on to for as long as possible.

This projection was part of an art project based on my cancer experience. I didn't care much for that project but focusing on part of it and projecting it looked interesting to me.So this became a self-portrait of me back then when I lost my hair and eyebrows to chemo and a more recent me with my hair back.

Ling Ling is best friend, companion and so much more to my daughter, Katia Solomon. Katia has fought cancer, treatments, transplant rejection and many side effects since age 2 in 2002. She has many delays and stopped growing at age 3. Ling Ling literally fell off our roof at 3 weeks old. He was and is her gift from God. She is my hero:)

My ultimate goal is to have a camp for amputee children that would include sports, meditation, self-reflection, and self-esteem. It is important to help them be strong, to show them how to deal with all that they have lost, and to let them know that they can lead a normal life. My amputation never hindered me. I did all the things a normal teenage girl would do. I still ski and swim, and I recently started playing tennis again in a wheelchair.

I'm not sure which version I like more the faded looking one is with an old glow stick and the bright one is a new glow stick.

After cancer I developed a pain in my stomach that lasted 3 years my doctor told me it's just in your head. I went to another doctor who seemed more interested and I asked if I could see a nutritionist since I knew my diet wasn't good, turns out I wasn't getting enough fiber and that pain in my stomach really was in my stomach and not my head, I don't get that pain any more. Sometimes you just need another opinion.

Age at diagnosis, 64

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML), 2012

 

The only difference between a researcher and a patient is a diagnosis. . I think we have to go beyond finding the cure, with all of its collateral damage, to finding the cause. We have to stop people from getting cancer in the first place.

 

Having cancer myself has given me a new sense of urgency. We have a limited number of days in our lives—you become more aware of that—and if I’m going to spend them coming to work, then I’m not going to be just diddling around.

 

I often tell my daughter that whether it’s changing the world or having a good time, we should not put off what we think we should do. You never know when you will be caught up short with a serious disease. We are all patients eventually!

 

I drink the expensive wine now.

"You are a tireless self-promoter and gave yourself the nickname the Martha Stewart of Marijuana! Isn't that true Miss Shuman?" To which I replied... :) You're absolutely 100% correct Stuart :) (giggle) I've never denied that I'm a promoter. I have had my own business since 1984. When you're the CEO of a company, aren't you supposed to promote your company? I see everyone else doing the same with their own businesses. Since when is that an issue? I promote other people, other states, news etc. Quit frankly, I work hard and I'm proud of the work that I do. I don't see anyone else out there with the guts to be on the front lines and take the hits. I don't know many people that LIVE with cancer and continue to try to be productive and work as much as I do. Tooting my own horn, You're damn right. :) Loud and proud my brothers and sisters. I work my ass off. :) Rapid Fire Marketing (RFMK: Stock Symbol) was proud of my segment on Varney & Co and posted it on their site. Thanks for the support RFMK :) Did you guys happen to notice the CANNACig in the interview? I didn't get to mention it by name.
