Cancerella Part Deux -- New and Improved? (Discuss)

About Me

Cancerella: I want to use a "Hello I'm Tedina Baxter and it all started in a 5,000 watt radio station..." kind of intro (OK I just dated myself)...truth be told, that would be long-winded (and I only have 1200 characters!) Short story - I grew up in a beautiful city an hour from Toronto, went to university in Ottawa - another beautiful city (albeit freaking cold!!), and moved to the glorious US of A in ’06 (an hour from NYC). I am married to the gentlest, funniest, most darling, generous, beautiful man on the planet and although the Lord did not bless us with kids, we have had a joyous marriage (not without it's cycles, natch - kind of like the economy - you just riiide them out). I am the youngest of three; sadly, I lost a brother last year but am blessed to have an amazing older brother who took care of us as teenagers when my 51-year old parents left this earth (my age now – gulp), and I have the best friends and family on the planet. And... I have a brain tumor (tumour for my Canadian friends); second time I have had cancer in 18 months. Sigh. That kind of blows, but hey, this blog may be good therapy and my chance to vent, talk through some of the ups/downs. Thanks for being here. :-)
