First Blog

I have to confess that when I first heard about "web-logs", I thought, "Huh?"  I didn't get it.  Maybe I'm too old or too stodgy or too private.  (I may have been one of those people who said, "If the good Lord had wanted us to fly....")

But time goes on and we change and, hopefully, grow.  I am starting this because I have the rare and wonderful privilege to be submersed in the issue of colorectal cancer on a daily basis.  I meet with companies and other nonprofits.  With patients and caregivers.  With government groups and members of the medical community.  In each meeting I learn something.  Some new idea around treatment, or a new trick for managing side effects.  Some new aspect of the cancer world.

This blog is a chance to pass some of that information along.  Maybe it will help, or maybe not.  But I am willing to give it a shot, if you are willing to travel along with me for a while.  I warn you, though, that this will not be all peace and love.  I am an extremely hopeful person, but am also something of a skeptic.  I am not cynical, but have to say that those rose-colored glasses just never did suit me well. 

One more thing--I am much better at dialogue than monologue.  Let me know what you think, and please pass along your information and ideas.

Welcome to the blogosphere! It is a great tool for reaching people with cancer and sharing experiences. My cancer blog is aimed at military folks with cancer, but everyone is welcome. I hope we can have a productive dialog, and maybe help some folks along with the journey.
