Haven't blogged in a while--I've been blogging on my other blog, Existential Angst, which is at http://suzjazz.blogspot.com/
It has been a very hard first 3 months of the year. In January, Curtiss was diagnosed with stomach cancer. We will find out what stage when he has an operation to remove his stomach (it has not spread to the liver, so it is not stage 4, thankfully) He is undergoing radiation treatment and chemotherapy and will continue for a few more weeks. His attitude is great--he is facing it with courage and humor. I am trying to keep calm by meditation, Reiki, and psychotherapy. I myself had breast cancer 5 years ago and it was no day at the beach but it was much easier for me to handle than this. It was a shock because we expected to get a diagnosis of ulcer. Stomach cancer is rare in the U.S. compared to other cancers. If diagnosed early enough, it can be cured, but usually it is diagnosed in late stages and difficult to treat.
In other news: I was promoted from Assistant to Associate Professor at Berklee and now must renegotiate my hourly wage.
Wish us luck...
