National Cancer Survivors Day is June 6th

Article in Durham Paper

I feel silly being interviewed for stuff like this. There are people that have been through much worse and overcome greater obstacles. Regardless, we should all be mindful of June 6th and those individuals and families that have endured so much and can celebrate survival.

I wanted to make a quick plug on the Chronicles for my brother, Clark, and his fundraising efforts for cancer. He's taking a month and only communicating through social media (facebook, twitter, blog, etc). As he explores the possibilities of using this platform to communicate (which means not speaking), he is trying to gain support and raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, in memory of our mother, who battled Leukemia for over ten years and passed away last Valentines Day.

Please check him out on his website www.socialmediaexperiment.com and show your support by either donating or sharing the site and story with your friends and family.

Thanks and take care.

5/19 Update: I had my chest scan today which came back clean. The next one is scheduled for August 13th and marks 3 years since my last treatment. At that point, I will be out of the high risk for recurrence. Man, that would be great.
