Living with Cancer

Tonite, we are watching an amazing program on the Discovery Channel. Ted Koppel is doing a very special show on Living with Cancer. They announced that they will be showing the program again tomorrow night and I hope everyone can spend the evening watching it.

One of the early points of the program is that almost everyone is living with cancer in some degree. With 600,000 people dying from this disease every year, all of us have been touched in some way and that makes this program that much more important.

Right now, it's very personal to the Cosgroves of David Street. We are literally, living with cancer, right in our house. Yes, there is a chance that we kicked it's ugly ass out of here, but we are surely going to be living with the fears and treatments that cancer brings for at least some amount of time.

If you are of a political nature, you know that Elizabeth Edwards, wife of Presidential candidate John, is living with cancer. She is on the program, as is Lance Armstrong and Leroy Siever, a good friend of Mr Koppel's. He started a blog some time ago called My Cancer, and John and I are looking forward to reading it and looking over his journey and the journey of his readers and writers.

If you've every wondered what kind of things a family goes thru when they are diagnosed, what kinds of questions you ask yourself, how ya figure out how to talk to people....all kinds of things, this is a great show. It will put a little spotlight on some of the things that we are just unable to talk about up to this point. There have been many "Aha moments" for us.

I've been looking forward to seeing this show for a while (altho I do miss Planet Earth, which seems to be over now). I had no idea how good it would be. I hope you'll get a chance to tune it in.
