OREGON LINE TO CROSS: NO KITTY GENOVESE ON NW 21st

CANCER VIEW: WEED FROM THE OTHER SIDE

Who ever thought of sexually transmitted cancer? Any cancer makes you want to crawl in a hole. Sexually transmitted cancer? Where do you crawl on that one? I hid in the closet so I wouldn’t have to answer lots of questions about HPV16 throat cancer. What is there to say?

SECOND OPINION: WILL THAT BE ONE CHEMO OR TWO

From cancer.org: Cancer cells tend to grow fast, and chemo drugs kill fast-growing cells.

Side effects are not always as bad as you might expect, but many people worry about […]
