Joining Clubs
2013. This year has done it’s best to beat us down. Well, actually, I guess cancer tried to beat us down. Actually, to be more specific, Thyroid Cancer has really come at us with a vengeance. Yes, the past couple weeks we have been dealing with a second case in the family and additional family […]

Pineapple Fried Rice
Living in New York City, you become accustomed to ordering delivery for dinner. Some would say overly accustomed. I’m too tired/busy/sick/late/sad/angry/excited/lazy to cook tonight. Plus, it’s rainy. And my middle toe hurts. What do you want, babe? Pizza, sushi, Mexican, Chinese, Indian, Thai, Vietnamese, burgers, deli sandwiches, Korean, Mediterranean? I think I actually want barbecue. […]

Kind of Bleh
It has been 27 days since I had surgery. Two and a half months since I was told I had cancer. Both experiences are still vivid in my mind if I choose to replay them. But both also kind of feel like an eternity ago. I think for that reason, I keep wanting to write […]

Curveball
So, I am going to rip off the bandaid right away, just like my doctor did Thursday night when he called me with the full results from my biopsies. The bad news: I have cancer. The good news: I have one of the best endocrinologists in the world and will be meeting with a chief […]

My First Vlog! AKA: Evidence That I Truly Write Exactly Like I Speak…Nonsensically
Sometimes I paralyze myself. Not in, like, some magic power sort of way, but more in a ‘Yeah, I’ll do that once everything is perfectly aligned.” sort of way. Guess what? Nothing is every perfectly aligned. I should know this. I’ve written about this issue before, this ability to stop myself from doing something because […]

The Power of Connection
The last time I wrote – just a couple weeks ago – I was waiting for my nuclear iodine scan and uptake results. A lot has happened since then. I kept calling my doctor to find out the results and finally, almost a week later, they realized that they had received them the Friday prior, […]

The Fear of Uncertainty
I keep sitting down to write these past few weeks and ending up with nothing. I check my nonsensical gibberish in the notes section on my phone, think about funny or important things happening in the world, in New York or with my family. Sometimes I just put my fingers on the keyboard and see […]
