THE LONG AND THE SHORT OF IT Jack and his swimming buddies Tom, Eric and Mike (and Arthur), took advantage of the last of summer and swam 2 ½ miles around Seward Park on Lake Washington this weekend. Can you say, Barracuda?!
CHEW CHEW TRAIN I’m now halfway through radiation/chemo. Half. Way. Mind you, I have a year of follow-up chemo after this, but we’ll think about that later. I’ve been kvetching about the minor side effects of the treatment. You know, things that make for great...

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.
