Welcome to the site of a storyteller and writer, dancing with brain cancer. It all started in the fall,  2008,  when I felt some pain in my legs. My doctor said not to worry, but my acupuncturist said I should worry, and sent me to get an MRI scan. It confirmed his diagnosis of brain cancer, with about 2 1/2 years to live.

I am thrilled to be here 10 years after diagnosis, after so many different treatments, and with the amazing help of my family, friends, and more.  We did go to India for two months, and it was great to see friends and family. But there weren't enough facilities  for me. I felt like I'd stepped back in time, and was so dependent again. I feel much better now that I'm back in the US with ADA, and more independent again.

Back from India again.  This time was only 31 days.  But  we finished 
our new house!!!!

Now,  I wanted to update my website, started in 1990s, by myself, but it's  impossible now for me to update, so I switched to Weebly and love it. Thank you, and please allow me to use an older PR photo here (newer ones inside) since I feel like Rip van Winkle after his long sleep.
