Busy day today. I am working on a history of how I got to this point. I hope to have it finished by the weekend. It will cover the last two years of doctor appointments, surgeries, treatment, (or lack thereof) depending on your view). I might even throw in a little bit of my own opinion on how the medical system needs improving and what it does well. Keep in mind I am not a doctor, and I don’t play one on the PC. However, I was given this small gray organ between my ears that my parents taught me how to use with a healthy dose of common sense, so doctor or no doctor, I do have an opinion and I plan to give it to you. What you do with it is totally up to you, but just remember, it will always be less than your co-pay...

A begining

I never thought I'd be starting a blog, but over the last 2 years, I've found that talking with family friends, and co-workers has been the best form of support and therapy for me as I find myself on this journey through life. In the days and weeks ahead I will be posting various things about my significant other Lori, who has been diagnosed with metatastic disease as a result of a very rare form of cancer tumor called pheochromocytoma. This tumor has gotten some press recently as a possible reason behind the Hatfield and McCoy feud lasting as long as it did. A pheochromocytoma is a neo-endocrine tumor. A good place to start reading for reaserch and learning will not be this blog as I may get into some science every now and then but will try to limit those excursions to our specific case. A good place to start your research (if you sumbled here looking for answers,) would be the Mayo clinic pages found by searching google with mayo clinic and pheochromocytoma.
