| 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.

Leroy Sievers Dies
August 18, 2008It 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
