I am a big — humongous — believer in getting second opinions. There is no better or more important time in your life to have as much data and experience contributing to your health care as there is NOW. No, you are NOT “cheating” on your primary doctor by getting a second opinion. Pinky promise.… Continue reading Second Opinions During F-Bomb Cancer

Martin Luther King Day
How amazing and inspiring is it that Martin Luther King Day is on the same day as the (2nd!) Inauguration of this (amazing!) country’s first African American President? Regardless of political views, there sure is a Silver Lining happening here, recognizing that Barack Obama could never have been President had it not been for MLK.

Mistakes – Seth Godin
I’m a big, huge fan of making mistakes. They don’t necessarily feel good when they happen, but (you know me!), I always look for the Silver Linings of mistakes and they are grander than anything I could have been attempting in the first place. I think that Seth Godin does a pretty doggone spot on job explaining… Continue reading Mistakes – Seth Godin
The Nuts and Bolts of Breast Cancer Staging
