Special post--Oliver Sacks--

Special post--Oliver Sack's essay from when he found out his cancer has mestastisized--

a must read--


I feel that way, as cancer or no cancer, everyone is doomed to die, but we cannot stop living because of that.

Two women friends who died of breast cancer in the USA provided shining examples.

A very soignee woman who was African American and helped me through my first run in with the jerk boss, also died or breast cancer, I found out.

It seemed to me she took very good care of herself, and it was almost inconceivable to think she died of cancer, but who knows.
