2007-11-13 14:37:00 Yoga for cancer patients? That's right, the ancient Indian practice of postures, breathing and meditation may be just what the doctor ordered. As a devout yoga practitioner and a fellow ThyCa survivor, my yoga practice has deepened and produced incredible additional benefits since the day I was diagnosed. yoga:- Yoga is a Sanskrit word meaning yoke or union.

Silly Me, Thyroid Cancer Is Nothing
2007-06-16 01:34:00 If you read my last post you will know that I'm not to fond of Ms. McCord (she also runs MomGadget.com in case anyone thinks I didn't know). We have different opinions on the HPV vaccine which I don't have a problem with. Belitting those of us who have decided it's not for our daughters is another thing. Even in the comments section on her blog she seems to think I'm stupid and do not realize that she's still telling us that there will come a day when we will have to come up with "pathetic lame excuses" to give our daughters about why they didn't get the vax. I may not be the most articulate writer when it comes to my blog but I am definately not stupid and very good at reading between the lines.To the point though. In the comments on her post she took it upon herself to basically inform me that thyroid cancer is pretty much no big deal. I mean, after all we have a 96% survival rate. ALL of us. Can you believe that? Why we're second only to prostate cancer so no more bitchin...
