Sending Happy Birthday wishes for everyone

When I lived in Germany, we had two birthdays - one for the day we were actually born, and one on our "name day". I figure that anyone that has had a cancer diagnosis has probably either limited number of remaining birthdays, or (more probably) realizes a bit stronger than regular folks the importance of marking birthdays. I have marked anniversaries of the cancer trek, but refuse to call any of those dates a celebration (even the last day of my radiation was not one to celebrate, just to be endured.) So, on this day, one that I know at least 3 people are celebrating as their birth-day, I join Jay Lake's wish of making this his birthday to all of us, and propose that anyone (walking the cancer path or not) should have it as their second birthday. Party it up, everyone! Or just smile in the knowledge that we are casting shadows together for one more glorious day.
Who links to my website?
This is my place to relate my experiences with cancer treatment, as well as share resources that may be helpful to fellow oral, head, and neck cancer survivors. I was diagnosed with adenoid cystic carcinoma of the left parotid on June 30, 2006. My goal is to continue enjoying the Nebraska Good Life. I call this blog the "Cheeky Librarian", since the cancer was discovered in my cheek, I am a librarian, and many that know me say I fit the slang use of the word 'cheeky'.
The views expressed here are mine alone and do not reflect the opinion of my employer or your Internet supplier.

Click on 2006 in the Blog Archive below to read about my initial cancer treatment issues - radiation side effects, dietary, fatigue - and how I dealt with them. The coping methods and information sources are shared in the hopes they will be useful to others that are following in the cancer treatment pathways.
