Why I Don't Blog About Breast Cancer As Much Any More
I have been pondering this one for a long time, years. I used to blog about my breast cancer crap (and if it ' s cancer, it is crap) all the time. I mean, ALL the time. Because breast cancer was the center of my life. I was going through treatment and coping with diagnosis and all the fun stuff going along with it.So since I got through treatment and moved on to other ailments, I have not blogged about breast cancer as much.

Be the kind of parent you wished yours were
A young man with chest pains, shortness of breath and heart palpitations had come back for his follow-up visit.
His thyroid test and blood count were well within the normal range. His EKG was normal, and his chest X-ray was declared normal by the radiologist.
We talked some more about his anxiety and poor sleeping habits. We talked about his late shift at work, and we talked about his late gaming habits on the computer and how he sleeps until ten and misses out on mornings with his young daughter.
