| Earlier today I took one of our cats, The Coach, to a veterinary radiologist to diagnose what has been causing her rapid weight loss. The good news is they were able to identify the problem, the bad news is really bad.
Drs. Kramer and Moody identified two large tumors in the area of her pancreas and several smaller tumors elsewhere in her abdomen. There isn’t an effective treatment for her disease. She is home now and enjoying some quality time on my lap.

Our cat has end-stage cancer

Leroy Sievers Dies
August 18, 2008 by ScottIt feels cliched to post this since every cancer blog on the Web is probably featuring an article about the death of NPR’s Leroy Sievers from complications arising from metastatic colon cancer.
Prior to authoring the “popular” My Cancer blog, Sievers was an Emmy award winning journalist and Producer, including serving as Executive Producer for Nightline and a number of tours of duty in war-torn regions. The folks at ABC News produced a pretty nice story about his life and transition from journalist to terminal cancer patient.
So long Leroy
Spit down and stand up for your rights!
April 4, 2008 by Scott| Former SI Swimsuit model Naomi Campbell was cuffed and stuffed after losing her cool over some lost luggage courtesy of British Airways.
Regular YouTumor readers will recall that Beth and I were in a similar situation a couple of months back. At that time, all we received was a shitty t-shirt and toiletries. Ms Campbell managed to parlay her celebrity status and spitting abilities into free ground transportation from LHR. Celebrities get all the breaks. |

I never thought it would happen.

A very long year has finally passed. Youtumor.com is just over a year old now and March 9 is the 1-year mark of my life-saving and life-altering surgery. The events that followed, and what we had to do to get through it all, almost seems comical. But it wasn’t. Albeit, Scott and I have twisted senses of humor, it was not a laughing matter.
The most important life lessons I have learned came at a price; sadly. But I do firmly believe that what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. Although Scott would say that he didn’t really need to get any stronger.
We’re Back…kind of.

We have been on a MUCH needed vacation. Although, our vacation was different than most people’s since we do not do “relax” very well. So we went on a ski-fari. The past two years, I have single-handedly ruined ski season. In 2006 I broke my face and last year that silly cancer thing took up a lot of our waking (and sleeping) moments.
Details to come later and maybe some stories. Places we visited were: Jackson Hole, Steamboat, Vail, Breckenridge, Crested Butte, and Telluride. We experienced this all from the family truckster!
