I guess this is a little bit shorter of a gap in posting than normal. 🙂 I got back from vacation about 2 weeks ago. Half way through the week in Ocean City MD, I started feeling ill. (Sore throat, cough, and allergy type symptoms.) I did not think much of it, because the darn
The last couple of months just flew by, and I realize I have not posted since May. Yes, other posts have found their way here, but I know many are reading this for the medical updates.

I really wanted to get this posted long before now, but you know how time creeps up on you. In light of that, you might see multiple posts for today. Bethlehem held its Relay For Life this year on June 8th and 9th. In case you’re not familiar with Relay, it is a 24 hour

For this month, I am actually not able to highlight any specific cancer. No particular cancer has June as its month. HOWEVER…June 2nd was National Cancer Survivor’s Day. So, instead of celebrating just one day, I propose we use the entire month to celebrate survivors of all cancers. This is even more fitting because our
