I've been overwhelmed with all the wonderful support and encouragement from readers in dealing with my cancer issue. Thank you all.

When we received the diagnosis, we opted for an aggressive form of treatment with chemo and radiation that has a 98% probability of a cure. The other alternative had fewer side effects but drops the odds to 88%.

After discussing expectations, side effects and all the factors involved we realized the important thing was to get the cancer out of my body.

That was ten weeks ago. Today my body is slowly healing. During that time, I spent a lot of time in a chair – just thinking about life. Our recent article, The Most Important Job Of Parenting No One Discusses received the most positive feedback of any article we have published.
