CANCER TREATMENT: 5 THINGS I KNEW BEFORE STARTING

December 21, 2017 by David Gillaspie

I will submit to the cancer treatment sequence of events that may or may not do what is predicted. Like a lamb to slaughter, I would submit to whatever it took to kill the shit out of hpv16 throat cancer. In the writing world we all dream of that one ‘YES’ that […]

CANCER MEMOIR FROM SMART GUY WITH HPV CANCER, AND IT’S NOT ME

December 3, 2017 by David Gillaspie

Michael D. Becker wrote his cancer memoir titled ‘A Walk With Purpose.’ By all accounts he’s lived a life with purpose, so the walking with purpose stuff is expected. He walks with purpose, so do you. So do I. We all walk with purpose. If not we’re just wandering around aimless, without […]

CANCER STORIES: FEEDING PUBLIC FEAR AND PRIVATE WOE

December 1, 2017 by David Gillaspie

Things you’ll never know until you get cancer, any cancer: You’ll either be an object of sympathy, or an antenna of sympathy. Or both. “Keep up the fight,” or, “You’re a fighter,” or “You look like you’ve got this thing whipped.” That’s what I heard after running Hood To Coast at 49 […]

CANCER VIEW: WEED FROM THE OTHER SIDE

November 26, 2017 by David Gillaspie

My cancer view had more weed hope later than sooner with DAG approved brownies. It started with a look for an alternate route for a cure instead of chemo road. What I found was a log of death in men who’d gone the alternate route instead of chemo, then switched to the hard stuff […]

CANCER ROOM: BEST OF TIMES, WORST OF TIMES

November 22, 2017 by David Gillaspie

The biggest motivation for writing a cancer room memoir like ‘LICKING CANCER, The Full Response’ is paying tribute to the people I met in there. From staff to patients, it’s a team focused on the same goal, until it goes off the tracks, and it does in one way or the other for everyone. […]

Neck Cancer And Alcohol Consumption: U.S. vs Belarus

November 9, 2017 by David Gillaspie

Neck cancer? In Belarus? Bela-where? Either check a map or be satisfied that Belarus is an eastern european country that used to be part of the Soviet Union. And they drink. A lot. Belarus scores #1 on Market Watch’s survey of ten drunkest nations on earth. #2 is Republic of Moldova, #3 Lithuania, […]

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 […]

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 […]
