That’s a fine tribute. Catherine sounds like someone we would all be better for having known. And I agree with Nikki that you should think about a book (whether novel or not); you describe people so vividly that they jump off the page/screen.

Spike-
I’m so very sorry for your loss. We all have blessings in our lives…some we don’t even recongize until it’s to late. It’s really wonderful that you and Catherine had it. You had it and you recognized it for 25 yrs. That is surely the biggest blessing of all don’t you think? It’s way it hurts so much when it’s gone. To lose someone that means so much and to have this wonderful, wonderful, relationship that was real. Realer than any other relationship. I could feel her in your words. Honestly, Spike…you should write a book. Not a relationship book, silly girl! A novel. A love story/struggle. You could do it. It would take you a year, probably two. But, you could do it and you’d be good at it.

Comment on yo, it’s been awhile by Fox

Have to say I missed reading you (and damn those bloody wankers at So Posh in Florida)! Glad to see you’re kinda back. :)

Oh, and I can tell you that the media (gotta love them) has totally trashed Canada’s health care system here (America). So now Americans seem to think that in Canada you will wait 2 years for needed surgery and possibly DIE while waiting. Therefore they think that any health care system remotely like it would be horrible. And they all bitch about the bloody cost in taxes. Greed. I think that is the biggest thing that prevents America from having a brain. GREED.

I, being one of the smart ones, am trying to move to Canada. Vancouver preferably. Maybe one day we shall meet and mutually be disgusted with America.

Hope you’re feeling a bit better, love.

Comment on Dear America, the forces of evil (and power and wealth) are lying to you. by Liane

Very well said. I cannot believe that Obama’s approval rating is falling by the day over this issue. The man deserves to be knighted, or sainted, or whatever it is that you believe in. We Canadians have a darn good system. Why can’t everyone realise and admit that we all deserve whatever treatment science deems neccesary – not whatever your pocketbook can withstand. Fear mongers indeed! they should be ashamed of themselves.

I am an American and I think our system sucks and I would much rather we do it like Europeans do it. It seems like they are much happier and healthier. I watched that movie Sicko and it made me sick. Sorry for the pun. I have been reading you for a long time but don’t comment. Nice to see you’re doing well. Good luck in the future. I’ll try and comment more often.

Spike, please consider sending this post, along with your diagnosis/treatment story to The Huffington Post and/or any other U.S. news source that might publish it. Heck, why not the New York Times?

I am an American and I feel very passionate about our country finally guaranteeing health care to ALL of its citizens, and am sick BEYOND WORDS of the greedy, evil liars who are worried about losing their summer homes and yachts, and worrying about having to send their kids to the same public school systems that they’ve been pinching their measly tax dollars to avoid paying into.

I think regular Americans need to hear from regular Canadians like yourself. You really have an elegant yet accessible way of expressing your ideas and I think you could open a few eyes down here. Cheers to you.

yeah, yeah, what she said.

I get so fucking tired of these fuckwits…but then again most Canadians don’r realize that we have provincial health insurance rather than a provincial health care system. It’s the insurance component–single payer, standardized fee structure, provider opt-in or out–that spares us from the UK’s National Health or the insane tax structure of France.

Comment on Happy anniversary or birthday or something by Dennis Pyritz, RN

Open invitation to you and your readers to participate in the Being Cancer Book Club. This month we are discussing “The Light Within: the Extraordinary Friendship of a Doctor and Patient Brought Together by Cancer”. “When young gynecologic oncology fellow Lois Ramondetta was first summoned to the room of a new ovarian cancer patient, neither she nor the forty-nine-year-old professor of religion she encountered named Deborah Sills thought they had much in common. They certainly had no idea that they were about to embark on a transcendent odyssey that would become a soul-deep friendship. Now their heartfelt story, The Light Within, follows these two women through a decade of friendship and “big lives”—husbands, children, friends, and careers—ultimately crossing the country and traveling to foreign lands, where they spoke and wrote together about the intersection of doctors, patients, and spirituality. Both women searched together and openly for answers with honesty and intimacy until Deborah passed away in the spring of 2006.”
Monday is Book Club day; Wednesday Guest Blog and Friday Cancer News Roundup.
Also check out Cancer Blog Links containing over 350 blog links and Cancer Resources with 250 reference sites, both divided into disease categories.
Please accept this invitation to join our growing cancer blogging community at http://www.beingcancer.net
Take care, Dennis
