With Covid cranking up and going crazy again we are canceling our family annual July4th cook out.
This will be the first time in 10 years that we don't all get together. We will have 40 to 50 people at our house for this annual party. It's disappointing to not be able to do it, but we feel it's mandatory with my diagnosis this year. Is anyone else canceling their plans?

Cancer in the time of Covid
I have just started chemo for peritoneal carcinoma. I was in remission for from Fallopian tube cancer for 16 months, which is apparently longer than expected.

How often do you get a little dose of survivor's guilt?
Again this morning I did. A friend of the family, younger than me, probably in his 50's, healthy by most standards, non-smoker, non-drinker, basically the best type of person you would want as a neighbor or a friend, suddenly dead. I don't know at this point why. But for whatever reason it was it's another example of we…
