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.

Texting with my mom.

Today I sent my mom this photo.

She texted back,”How can you still look so beautiful and so happy during a chemo visit?” 

“Antidepressants,” I thought, (but did not text).

    I thought the same thing when you sent these photos to me. And now I’m thinking, how can you still be so funny too? I’m glad you shared the response here, even if you didn’t share it with her.

    Thank goodness for anti-depressants.
