http://ciaocancer.com/2010/10/13/becoming-or-simply-being-a-survivor
Nothing short of awesome. Becoming–or simply being–a survivor. As Elaine Schattner wrote in Slate last week.

The Boobs Controversy | Ciao, Cancer!
http://ciaocancer.com/2010/10/08/the-boobs-controversy

Nothing short of awesome. Archive for the ‘resources’ Category. I spent last week on the Cape with some great friends from Italy, their three sons, and Netsai, whom some of you know about from earlier posts one. On dating post-cancer. While the kids aged 3, 5, and 7 drove me crazy on more than one occasion, I did think about how much I’d like to have children of my own.
