		<title>Intimacy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just left a chat room at caringvoices.ca.  The focus was to be about my book and about engaging people in a discussion about the emotional impact of cancer.  That, of course, is the overall theme of this blog, but I now realize that we have neglected the very important area of Intimacy.
Cancer can deprive [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sometimes it gets to be too much</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had a strange experience the other day.  It surprised me and, I admit, scared me a bit.
I was scheduled for another MRI to see if we could find a new metastasis that might explain the pain in my back.  This is a normal thing for anyone fighting a disease that is progressing as mine [...]]]></description>

		<title>Winning the War</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wow!  What a great experience I had being interviewed on the Andy Barrie show yesterday.  It was my first time on the radio but Andy has a way of making you feel very comfortable.  It was like having a conversation with an old friend.
While we only had a short time to chat, Andy raised an [...]]]></description>

		<title>Remembering</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Happy Birthday, Dad. Well, it would be his 94th, but he passed away two years ago April. I think of him often, because he is the closest person to me to have died. Also because I was with him near the end and had a chance to say goodbye.  While he did have bladder [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dependence</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I consider myself to be a lucky man in many ways.  Although this may seem strange coming from someone with cancer, I&#8217;m sure you can appreciate how important it is to look at the whole of your life, to see the good that has come your way in spite of the disease.  When I look [...]]]></description>

		<title>Life in Perspective</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Life can be such a fleeting thing. When you have a terminal or incurable disease, life and death are always on your mind, sometimes in the forefront and sometimes lying in waiting &#8230;.never completely gone.  The uncertainty of how and when is haunting and everyone deals with it differently.  It is on my mind all [...]]]></description>

		<title>The New Year begins</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hi everyone.  As you no doubt noticed, we pretty much shut down over the Christmas holidays.  I did this on purpose as I really wanted (needed) to focus on having an incredible Christmas and some complete down time.  In addition, I wanted to focus on launching my new book!  I&#8217;m pleased to say that I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Here we go again!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just when I thought I could relax a bit and enjoy the Christmas season, I get more bad news. For every cancer patient, this can happen at the worst of times. But for a disease that seems to attack indiscriminately, there&#8217;s no reason to expect it to honor holidays.
This time it wasn&#8217;t a complete surprise [...]]]></description>

		<title>Stumped</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, I finally stumped my psychologist!  Over the years, the support and advice I have received from him has been life-enhancing even if not exactly life-saving. It is characteristic of cancer that your life is full of ups and downs, highs and lows, and times when you are lost in the uncertainty of the disease. [...]]]></description>
