Welcome! This videoblog has been developed to house links to all my videos related to my journey as a cancer patient—from diagnosis on. I hope you enjoy and please feel free to comment.

In early May David received news the PET scan was suspicious and we are currently pursing some consultation to obtain more information. A video related to what we have learned about re-occurence will be posted once the testing is complete.

Video #8: Time has new meaning
In this video David discusses how time has changed given his prognosis
Even if you are just a casual viewer of the night sky like my wife and I, you will be surprised by how much more one can see by just a 7 x 50 binoculars. The 50 mm instead of 35 mm allows more star light in, for dimmer stars and nebula. The 7 power gives some magnification but not so much that would require a tripod instead of just hand held. Jupiter's common 4 moons are usually discernable too. With spring comes the two stars of GEMINI constellation, which actually are double stars noticeable with a binoculars. Thanks for reminding me to grab my binoculars more when viewing the night sky. Take care, Paul
From your videos, I have a better sense of who my wife, a Mizzou grad, may be counseling (as a psychologist) at her cancer clinic or with in-patients at the hospital in South Dakota. Originally a radiation therapist at Ellis Fischel in the 1990s, she got a "calling" when unable to comfort a newly diagnosed patient and vowed to return to college and be better able to. Twelve years later, she got her PhD, got her chance to be sure at a bone marrow transplant program post-doc year, got licensed and began a psycho-social counseling program with cancer patients and their families. Still hungry to do more, is also gaining credits to become a Thanatologist and to help with pain management. If you ever hear that Ellis Fischel Cancer Center or another place close needs a person like her, it would be great to have her back home.
