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.
