Cancer trends for boomers? Doctor, please. Like we need to know more about disease trends. The coronavirus pandemic and quarantine aren’t enough? The ‘Big C’ vs ‘little c?’ It all depends on exposure. The Associated Press gives a reminder on sex-related cancers. It is what it is, and it’s not good.
CRUCIAL CATCH vs SHUT UP AND PLAY
October 5, 2020 by
I like people who make the crucial catch, who root and cheer for others to make their crucial catch. I’m a sports fan. That’s what sports fans do. What else do sports fans do? They see shadows of sports everywhere; they hear echoes of sports talk radio before starting the car. Most of all, sports […]
QUARANTINE CUTE: WHY APPEARANCES STILL MATTER
April 27, 2020 by
Staying quarantine cute is worth dying for? At least protesting for? When I saw the folks protesting in cars and screaming about their hair, I felt their pain. Look, who among us wants to look our age if we can help it? I get that.
VIRUS TESTING REVIEW FOR DEADLY DISEASE
April 10, 2020 by
From available evidence, virus testing for the coronavirus is uncomfortable and expensive. And not as available in America as it is in other developed countries. However, virus testing for other bad things often feels like a rush job, a sales job, a ‘get it now or die’ job. But that’s not testing for coronavirus, it’s […]
CHEMO COMEDY SHOW: WAS IT SUPPOSED TO BE FUNNY
October 18, 2019 by
In the final analysis, no, there’s no such thing as chemo comedy, just moments that surpassed some of the funniest things I’ve seen or heard. It started with the first appointment with the chemo doc. We’d met before.
BOOK NOTES: AN UNCOMFORTABLE TASK BUT SOMEONE’S GOT TO DO IT
August 24, 2019 by
What struck me when I started writing book notes were the words from who knows where I found them, but here they are, “You’d better love the the book topic because at some point you’re going to hate it.” And it’s true, except I sort of hated it from the start since my book notes […]
HPV16 CANCER, UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL
June 20, 2019 by
Getting to know hpv16 cancer up close and personal the way Brent King and I have exposes the best intentions from some of the best people. They offer wisdom and sympathy; they’re sorry; they do their best to show they care. Sometimes the caring part is unfamiliar territory, so it gets awkward. I heard it […]
Dave Mustaine: NECK CANCER
June 18, 2019 by
A facebook page for a blog, like boomerpdx, is a little confusing. Why not leave it all on the blog? Because good advice says reach out.Then the question is how far? No one reads blogs is the word, any blogs, so a blogger with low traffic is just one of millions. That makes everything okay, […]
CANCER RECOVERY: ONE MAIN KEY
April 4, 2019 by
I’ve got a serious cancer recovery question in the vein of what came first, the chicken or the egg, after reading this. Maybe this isn’t the right place to ask, but come on blogosphere. The BBC reports, “HPV vaccine linked to ‘dramatic’ drop in cervical disease.” The next research I want to see is a […]
HPV16 Cancer Side Effects Include Blogs And Memoirs
October 4, 2017 by
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 […]
