Baldies' Blog began originally in the UK by a 26 year old journalist with a blood cancer on a mission to inform the world about bone marrow donation.

He has since died, and I took on the cause of making cancer care more transparent for everybody.

Cancer is a disease that will touch everybody through diagnosis or affiliation: 1 in 2 men will be diagnosed and 1 in 3 woman will hear those words, "You Have Cancer."

I invite you to read how I feel along my journey and
how I am continuing to live a full life alongside my Hodgkin's lymphoma, with me controlling my cancer, not my cancer controlling me.

I hope that "Baldies' Blog" will prepare you to handle whatever life sends you, but especially if it's the message, "You Have Cancer."

It's Been a Tough Year


It was a tough year, but I made it !!!But not everyone is as lucky as I am...... 

The economy is so bad that I got a pre-declined credit card in the mail. 

I ordered a burger at McDonald's, and the kid behind the counter asked,  "Can you afford fries with that?" 

CEO's are now playing miniature golf. 

If the bank returns your check marked  "Insufficient Funds," you have to call them and ask if they mean you or them . 

Hot Wheels and Matchbox stocks are trading higher than GM. 

McDonald's is selling the 1/4  'ouncer'. 

Parents in  Beverly Hills and Malibu are firing their nannies and learning their children's names. 

A truckload of Americans was caught sneaking into Mexico . 

Dick Cheney took his stockbroker hunting. 

Motel Six won't leave the light on anymore. 

The Mafia is laying off judges. 

BP Oil laid off 25 Congressmen. 

Congress says they are looking into the Bernard Madoff scandal. Oh Great!! The guy who made $50 Billion disappear is being investigated by the people who made $1.5 Trillion disappear! 

And, finally... 

I was so depressed last night thinking about the economy, wars, jobs, my savings, Social Security, retirement funds, and our bleak future, that I called the Suicide Lifeline and was connected to a call center in Pakistan. When I told them I was suicidal, they got all excited, and asked if I could drive a truck
