UNCLE CLIFFY, MEDICAL MARIJUANA, PISTIL POINT CANNABIS

July 27, 2017 by David Gillaspie

Why does it take a dramatic event like a health scare to break out the medical benefits of marijuana? Former Portland Trail Blazer Cliff Robinson, Uncle Cliffy in the industry, had a stroke. Is medical marijuana a cure? Here’s Robinson’s take from oregonlive:

HEALTHCARE VOTE FOR CANCER COURAGE, CANCER COWARD

July 26, 2017 by David Gillaspie

What are the chances of any U.S. Senator feeling the pain of cancer, or any other pre-existing condition? John McCain is front and center with a brain tumor. Let’s watch his healthcare vote to decide if the rest of America deserves the same medical attention as a U.S. Senator. This is the Navy flier who […]

HEALTHCARE BULLY PREYS ON THE WEAKEST

July 22, 2017 by David Gillaspie

Any coherent healthcare bully debate needs to go beyond the numbers, the insurance companies. Beyond drug company research and development that puts the BIG in Big Pharma. It’s about who the healthcare bully reaches for in the debate. The most vulnerable, of course. The population currently undergoing severe medical treatment. I’ll use cancer treatment […]

HPV16 EXPLAINED BY WASHINGTON POST, HPVANDME.ORG

July 20, 2017 by David Gillaspie

There’s no fake news about HPV16 explained in the Washington Post, even if you wish it weren’t true. A story headlined, “What men should know about cancer that spreads through oral sex,” ran April 2 this year. Impressive stuff to jump start Head, Neck, and Throat Cancer Week. What should they know? What […]

THERAPEUTIC SWEARING, MEDICAL MARIJUANA, CANCER

July 14, 2017 by David Gillaspie

Swearing, done in the right spirit, communicates so much more than long, drawn out, explanations. Besides, how often do you need the long version? I’ve investigated both swearing and medical marijuana and come to a few helpful conclusions for cancer patients. Instead of getting all macho and shocker, I’ve amended my profanity […]

RADIATION, HYDRATION, SATURATION, REPEAT

July 13, 2017 by David Gillaspie

From cancercenter.com Because radiation is used on and in their bodies, some patients mistakenly worry that this automatically means their bodies become “radioactive” after they treatment. Most patients just want to finish radiation and don’t care about the baggage. That comes later. If they beat cancer, they accept the side effects. Once […]

CANCER SURVIVORS CHECK-IN PRACTICE

July 12, 2017 by David Gillaspie

One thing bloggers do is read other blogs. It’s not a competitive thing. For some. I read for information, writing style, writers voice. The usuals. As the writer on a blog with over fifteen hundred posts, I’ve got a handle on the word part. Still working on word organization. Who isn’t. It’s a humbling […]

CANCER TREATMENT NEEDS THE ROCKY TALK FROM DR. BALBOA

July 11, 2017 by David Gillaspie

When you need a pep talk who do you listen too? I go to Rocky Balboa for the good stuff. When he started out with, “Let me tell you something you already know,” he had me hooked. It’s like the doctor telling me I’ve got HPV16 tongue cancer. He had my attention. He told me […]

AFFORDABLE CARE ACT OSCAR GOES TO?

July 7, 2017 by David Gillaspie

Who deserves the Oscar for the Affordable Care Act? Health insurance used to be simple when I was young. At least it seemed simple. Mom and Dad took me to the doctor when things looked funky, like my collarbone. Things break on kids, like bones when they fly through the air and land awkwardly. Have […]

CANCER TECHNOLOGY TO THE RESCUE

June 30, 2017 by David Gillaspie

How far has cancer technology come? The machine in the picture delivers radiation therapy, radio therapy, prescribed by radiation oncologists. It looks like it belongs on the wing of a jet. Standing about six feet tall, five feet deep, it hooks into the patient related gear in the treatment room. I used to show up […]
