Cancer Couple

We, David and Jana, were diagnosed with cancer within an 11 day period in 2010. What a surprise! I have mesothelioma, and Jana has chronic myelogenous leukemia, and this blog chronicles our experiences with these diseases. To get started, first take a look at the back stories on right below. Most posts are straight reporting of our experiences; however, a few are more analytic and philosophical (perhaps of more general interest) and can be found repeated in the Selected Posts list.

The Cancer Chronicles

I've got a good book to recommend. When science writer George Johnson's wife was diagnosed with cancer he began a detailed study of the disease. His book "The Cancer Chronicles" uses his wife's diagnosis and treatment as a framework for describing what he learned. As we age, cancer seems to enter more and more of our lives, so if you'd like to know more about the disease, I highly recommend this book. Johnson and a great explainer.
