Thanks for the wonderful notes. It is so powerful to hear how our community see this dieing thing, and the love we have for each other.
People have wondered if David is super-sick right now, so wanting to clear that up. He's actually up and around quite a bit most days, still driving, cooking, making phone calls, reminding me where tools are when I forget.
We're actually working on launching the sailboat he purchase earlier this year. When his son Seth heard the days were likely numbered, he said "Well damn it Dad, if you're going to kick off, we need to get your boat in the water! You've wanted your own boat for years, let's at least get on it!" So we will, and hope for some sweet days on the ocean.
love, Tara
Cosmos carried the message: let's get the boat in the water. Back today to work on the hull of Happy Camper.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the sail on Cosmos with beautiful Captain David, family and friends. So poignant to hear the sails are set for beyond the blue horizon. David your wonderful lifejoy and love sings in my heart as in so many many others. thank you.
David I read your recent blog and wanted to share my recent cancer (primary peritoneal ovarian stage 3c) experience. I am using a ND in Portland, Colleen Tetzlaff. Her website is:

With her expertise and my diet
(Johanna Budwig flax oil protocol)
I have met some great folks via yahoo groups flaxseedoil2 and yes there are ones who have been cured with just the diet alone. That gave me hope.
I am doing really well and getting thru chemo
every 3 weeks with minimal discomfort.
I also practice medical qi gong, visualization
and positive affirmations.
When its my time to go and if its during active
cancer I think I would stop chemo if it was offered. From my research it seems to shorten
life if your body is weakened. You are a brave
soul. I remember how it was when you were first diagnosed 7 years ago.
Seeing you healed,
Anneliese Francis
