Cancer Destroys Relationship—if You Let It

I’ve previously written of the toll that cancer took on our relationships. Some friends genuinely surprised us with their compassion and grace. Many others fell out of our lives as if cancer is contagious. Worst of all, there were family members—hers and mine—who likewise bailed on us. It hurts and, as Hemingway wrote, we must be clear and honest about what hurts. That is the only way to process…

However, BWHI expressed frustration that the new guidelines do not address the concerns of Black women, who are diagnosed with breast cancer at a younger age…

Black, Breastfeeding, And Feeling Alone? I’ve Been There, Sis. ❤️

Black, Breastfeeding, And Feeling Alone? I’ve Been There, Sis. ❤️

Breastfeeding as a Black woman from a Mississippi Delta community filled with formula-feeding mamas has been quite the lonely road.

Withe the Supreme Court contemplating rolling back women's reproductive rights, The Janes @hbomax is a stark reminder of where American women could return. Powerful, Poignant and Necessary #thejanes #documentary

Depression and hate

TRIGGER ALLERT. Talk about depression, suicide, rape, murder, hate crimes. I have thought about writing this post for more than a week. It feels like the world is getting more and more ugly. What I mean is why is there so much hate. Murders and hate crimes are increasing in number. Women are raped, and when they come forward they are put on trial by the media. Just the other last week of the…

Radiation Pt 2: Angles and Setbacks

So, why radiation?  After the last post it occurred to me that while I gave a pretty good detail of our transition from surgery/recovery to radiation, I skipped a key component. I completely omitted the big part of that transition: why? I mean surgery removed the cancerous tumor. Why was radiation necessary? In many stage-one/grade zero cases, cancer surgery is the extent of treatment. No…
