FIFTY SHADES OF WHA?
Six months ago Rose called me. “Mom, you remember Daisy, my Hampshire friend, right? We had tea with her in Northampton my freshman year.” “Oh, yeah, Daisy,” I lied. “Sure I remember her.” “Well, she’s moving to Seattle and she needs a place to stay for a couple of...A VERY A-PEELING RESULT
AFTER
For my cancer friends out there who may have just received a dire diagnosis or are in the process of treatment, I thought I would catch you up on my health since finishing treatment in June of 2014. It may be helpful to hear one person’s experience on cancer recovery...OH NO! MR. BILL!
I ordered sausage, two fried eggs and fruit for breakfast at one of my favorite local haunts this weekend. This is what showed up. Mr. Bill! Mr. Bill! (Sorry young’ns, you probably won’t get this one.)Please Open The Cage
Deirdre Timmons
An accomplished writer and filmmaker, Deirdre Timmons is a native Northwesterner who leads a busy life between working and spending time with her family. In the spring of 2013, Deirdre was caring for her mother with Alzheimer’s in addition to her normal routine. So when she began feeling tired and forgetful, she chalked it up to her busy schedule, age, and possible early symptoms of Alzheimer’s. It wasn’t long after that she began experiencing regular dizziness, lack of concentration, unexplained weight loss, and extensive bruising. This combination of symptoms seemed odd, so Deirdre sought the advice of her doctor and subsequently began physical therapy for dizziness. When the symptoms worsened, she pursued further investigation.
After MRIs, x-rays, blood tests, a CAT scan, and a brain biopsy, her brain surgeon diagnosed Deirdre with a malignant medulloblastoma brain tumor. Her prognosis: one month to live. That was five years ago.
