Last night I watched the last few Episodes of the Showtime series, The Big C…
Edited on Fri Jan-28-11 06:06 PM by WCGreen
In case you know nothing about this peculiar and wonderful life-affirming series, it is about a woman who is diagnosed with a particularly lethal strain of skin Cancer and how she deals with the disease, her family and, as most of us must eventually do when faced with life-threatening disease, her mortality.

To be honest, I was a little trepidatious of watching this series, which, as the followers of this blog would know, clearly strikes close to home. First off, I wondered how they could pull off such a show to begin with, how could they entice people to watch a show that had as its premise, the slow and agonizing death of its star.


The latest post on my lung transplant blog...

I know there are events sweeping the world that are far more important, but I decided to post this tonight to perhaps provide just give a little diversion.

5. I worked with heart transplant recipients
I don't think it is possible to explain how ones life will change, but even if we could have, I don't know of anyone who would not have gone through with it. Best possible health to you.
