This is a blog for beginners in the three c's, like I was. I've had to try and figure out a lot of things as I go, all the while wishing there was someone out there explaining at least part of the journey ahead. "Suri" just doesn't cut it. Fear filled blogs and reactive chat rooms don't either. I'f you're strolling those, STOP. Fear, sadness and anger come easy and we each have to find our own way through. Real healing in my opinion is seeing the love, light and peace of the support around you and the experience itself. For me, its gathering as much information as possible and then letting go.
Who am I? Well, I'm not cancer nor am I a victim nor am I a statistic. I'm a person an actor a writer a director a sculptor a weekend mechanic a lover of dogs and shiny objects. I also like killing cancer cells. That's all you need to know.
My heart and soul reach out to all in search of answers to this daunting sport called cancer. Medicine has both come a long way and not moved an inch. The goal of this experiment is to add some clarity over confusion.
Best,

Gratitude is the most powerful antibiotic in my opinion. There have been so many helpers along the way. Of course Juliet has been chief nurse and to her I am eternally full of gratitude and love.

I give thanks to you all every day.
