Mesothelioma is a nasty cancer

Heather contacted me and let me know that September 26th is Mesothelioma awareness day.  She asked if I might be able to spread the news.  Being a lucky cancer survivor myself I jumped on board.  My father died of lung cancer three years ago.  It was extremely painful for him.  I have to admit that I don't know that much about the mesothelioma but I have started to read more about it as I am sure that you all will to after this awareness day.

Heather Von St. James, Mesothelioma Survivor

Heather Von St. James was diagnosed with malignant pleural mesothelioma at the age of 36, just weeks after giving birth to her daughter. Today, over eight years after undergoing surgery and subsequent chemotherapy treatment, Heather proudly claims the title of mesothelioma cancer survivor. Heather gratefully and passionately embraces each new day of life and lives to spread her message of hope and inspiration to all those affected by mesothelioma. Heather knows firsthand what it is like to be diagnosed with this disease as well as the issues, questions and concerns faced by patients and families alike. She is honored to be able to share her story and would be happy to speak with you about it.

ADVENTURES OF AN ARTIST IN UTAH

Okay that is me, in the back.  This is all new to me.  Its not to say that I have never ridden on a Quad but I have never driven one.  The other beautiful lady is my friend Susan.  When I found out I was going to live in Utah.  I was grief stricken over leaving my friends in Phoenix, but who do I meet my first months there but Susan and her wonderful husband Chad.  We had a great time today out near the Salt Lake.  We went out shooting.  The ladies, myself included, shot our pistols and the men their hunting rifles.  Susan and I decided to go out for a ride, it was so much fun.  Tomorrow a ride on our horses.  I will bring my camera.  If you follow my other blogs, you will see a new life in my paintings that I am attributing to a great many things including my new life in Utah.
