End of Life: Time or Quality?
written by Thu Tran, MD,FACOG
on Sunday, 31st January, 2016
The evening before the blizzard, my husband and I drove after work to
Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore to see a friend who has been
hospitalized for a week for her cancer treatment. She was diagnosed
with both thyroid and esophageal cancer six months ago. She underwent
chemotherapy and radiation. The tumors have made it nearly impossible
for her to swallow solid food. ...

written by Thu Tran, MD,FACOG
on Saturday, 23rd January, 2016
I am fortunately in the comfort of my breakfast room looking out to
the beautiful heavy snow. As you all know by now, wherever you might
be, we are in the middle of a major blizzard in the mid-Atlantic part
of the country.
Did you forget your triple A batteries? Loaves of bread? More wine?
IT'S TOO LATE TO REGRET NOW, DOOM DAYS ARE HERE! THE HUMAN RACE MIGHT
VANISH BY MONDAY ...

Has CLL defined me?
written by Carol Preston
on Thursday, 21st January, 2016
Editor's Note: Although Carol is writing about leukemia, those with
other cancers in remission can relate to her thought process.
I have CLL, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, the most common form of
adult leukemia. Simply defined, it is a white blood cell disease.
The white, infection-fighting blood cells run amok. They multiply at
an abnormally fast rate, like unwanted emails ...

A New Year's Norovirus "Cleanse"
written by Serrin Gantt, M.D.
on Tuesday, 12th January, 2016
Thursday I tended to my mother who had what I presumed was norovirus.
In the middle of the night she had developed diarrhea and later the
next day vomiting. She had a low grade temperature of 100F and very
little energy. I kept a safe distance but did empty her vomit pot (AKA
emesis basin). CDC guidelines were followed in that I washed my hands
very thoroughly before leaving ...

Breast Cancer - A Patient Perspective
written by Jody Miller, M.A., RCEP
on Wednesday, 6th January, 2016
I usually write to you about exercise routines but this article
shares my journey and experience with breast cancer. I am ten days out
from my breast reconstruction surgery. All went very well, and marks
the long and challenging six months since my initial diagnosis with
breast cancer.
In May, pathology reports confirmed DCIS (Ductal Carcinoma In-Situ)
and Invasive Carcinoma. ...

My New Year Resolution? I Need to Meditate!
written by Thu Tran, MD,FACOG
on Sunday, 3rd January, 2016
I hope you all enjoyed the holiday time you spent with your families.
On New Year's Day, my husband David, a neighbor and I went for a walk
to North Beach, half a mile from our house in Chesapeake Beach. We
walked past the registration desk for the Polar Bear Plunge to take
place at 1PM. The $25 registration fee would get you a long sleeve T
shirt showing that you participated ...
