My Liver Cancer Blog

my first blog, a way for me to process my experience of being diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma

about

I am a professor at a Canadian university. I’m married, have close relationships with my family, love my 2 dogs, love travel, and enjoy hiking (but day hikes only – not really into the hut-to-hut thing). I really hope I can get through this and do some major hikes again in the future. Thank god I also love reading novels (literary prize winners, but also espionage, detective, and sometimes Sci-fi). And thank god I live in an era of excellent tv. And thank god I love writing. There are many things I can still do that I love, even having cancer and being more home-bound than I would like to be.

If you’re new, I recommend starting with How I Found Out.

My dad’s dream

The other night my father had a dream. He dreamed that he was me, and that he was sick, and I was well. That was all there was to the dream. He had taken on the burden of my cancer, and I was free of it. The dream is like my dad – quiet, no drama, deeply caring.

    A common dream of parents with kids with cancer. St. Jude is built on this.
