GUN WORLD SURROUNDS YOU? What’s It Mean When You Don’t Notice

November 8, 2017 by David Gillaspie

A gun world is all around us in America. Start a casual conversation and you might learn the mild mannered person you’re talking to owns thirty guns. Since it’s so long ago, I like reflecting on my days as an Army medic. It comes in handy helping me pretend not be as grossed […]

HPV16 Cancer Side Effects Include Blogs And Memoirs

October 4, 2017 by David Gillaspie

If you chose to be ‘The Face’ of anything, few would choose cancer of any kind. Be the face of something grand, something happy, something exciting. But cancer? Add ‘The Face’ of an STD that leads to cancer and you’ve got HPV16 cancer. The same culprit for cervical cancer in women leads […]

Stomp Out Cancer: When Not If

September 10, 2017 by David Gillaspie

Stomp out cancer is a campaign with the hashtag #stompoutcancer. Cancer survivors from OHSU Doernbecher Children’s Hospital joined Nike and UofO to help create the uniforms the Ducks wore for Stomp Out Cancer. Their efforts are a ray or hope for everyone crossing the line from cancer treatment to cancer survivor. […]

Wellness Luxury: Feeling Good For Doing Good Again

September 8, 2017 by David Gillaspie

To do good you don’t have to feel good. If you do it’s a wellness luxury, an expression I just made up. Google wellness luxury. This isn’t that sort of post. Take mental health for example. Nothing makes any difference to you? No one cares about you? Feeling earful about the future? Feeling sad […]

Life After Luxury Still Means Death, But In Comfort

September 4, 2017 by David Gillaspie

Healthway.com posted a hot topic with ‘Doctors Reveal Which Everyday Habits Trigger Aging And Inflammation.’ Hey, where’s the luxury? Aging and inflammation doesn’t sound like luxury. Why? Because it’s not. I can hear some of you now say, “But we like luxury, we need luxury.” That’s what all luxury addicts say. Smart boomerpdx readers might […]

Cancer Message Still In The Merck Ad Mess

August 29, 2017 by David Gillaspie

Call me a late bloomer. Maybe you are too? My discoveries and enthusiasm come after most things have moved on. But it still counts for something. At least that’s what I tell myself. I’m telling you, too, it still counts, you still count. I’m late to see the parent shaming ad for hpv16 […]

HPV16 VACCINE IN CONSUMER REPORTS

August 19, 2017 by David Gillaspie

The HPV16 vaccine article in Consumer Reports pushes hot buttons across the board. It’s easy to understand why. I’m a father of two, but it’s more than that. Too many parents are overwhelmed with the joy of their own reproductive skills and the bundle of joy as a result. I know I was. […]

YOKE BUILDING PULLS A BETTER LIFE, BUT HOW

August 3, 2017 by David Gillaspie

If you’re called yoked it’s not a joke, and it’s not about woodworking. It’s a compliment. Someone noticed your gains. They think you’re strong. You look strong, feel strong, and it’s because you lift weights. Whether a fitness lifestyle or just trying it out, lifting changes your body. Strong as an ox? Not a bad […]

WHAT SEVERE ILLNESS MEANS TO OTHERS

July 31, 2017 by David Gillaspie

Under the category of ‘Who Knew’, severe illness opens the door to compassion. And it’s not all about you. Talk between cancer survivors is one thing; talk between a cancer survivor and someone untouched launches other topics. Some survivors are good listeners, others see the open door and rush right through. That […]

HEALTHCARE COSTS, INSURANCE MISTAKES

July 28, 2017 by David Gillaspie

Did anyone notice a senate vote on healthcare costs from insurance mistakes? It happens everyday across America. Has it happened to you? On a regular basis throughout my healthcare adventure with HPV16 throat cancer I’ve been billed by mistake. Take yesterday for example.
