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

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.
