DIFFERENCE MAKER, THE RECIPE

March 27, 2024 by David Gillaspie Leave a Comment

A difference maker is often the last to know what’s up. Who has ever been to a funeral or memorial and heard strangers talk about the deceased in terms so glowing it sounds like nobody you know. And you’ve known them most of your life. How does that happen?

CANCER CONVERSATIONS ONLINE AND OFF

August 11, 2023 by David Gillaspie

Cancer conversations never get old for people who’ve had it, and those living with it. They happen in waiting rooms for chemo, waiting rooms for radiation, and waiting rooms for scans and probes. Sound fun yet? This isn’t a suggestion: Make it fun or a little of you dies in that waiting room. Find something.

MEDICAL ADVICE? HOW TO SPOT THE WRONG STUFF EARLY

February 18, 2022 by David Gillaspie

Medical advice used to come from squirrelly sources. Not actual squirrels but just as nutty. Today it comes from trusted men and women elected to high office. And doctors. Which brings up the element of trust. Whose medical advice is better for people?

THE WORLD STOPS FOR NO ONE. HOW DO I KNOW?

February 1, 2022 by David Gillaspie

The world stops for you, and you, and you, because you need a break? And it stops for the rest of us because things are moving a little too fast? Hold that thought. Hold the next one, too. Hold it tight.

MY CANCER: THE MYTH VS REALITY

August 8, 2019 by David Gillaspie

(Spoiler: It’s not my cancer, your cancer, or anyone’s cancer. It’s just cancer and it needs killing instead of you, me, or anyone else.) Calling something as awful as cancer, “My cancer,” doesn’t feel right. I don’t claim ownership, I’ll never claim ownership. My loyal readers know the rest of the story, that cancer gets […]

HEALTH BLOGGER ADDS WEIGHT

February 7, 2019 by David Gillaspie

Weight loss isn’t a fad. It’s either a mystery that needs solving, or a goal. If loosing weight is a goal, do you know what to do? From so many ads, neither does anyone else. On the other hand, if you’re losing weight and don’t know why, get it checked. Health bloggers, writers, whatever you […]

WRITE A BOOK, THEY SAID, IT’LL BE FUN

January 17, 2019 by David Gillaspie

Long form writing is like a walk in the woods with no map. In the dark. With animal noises. And cliffs on both sides of the trail. If that isn’t a picture of adventure, what is? And all you need to do is sit down and write. And stay down. For a long […]

HOW TO COACH CANCER SURVIVORS

May 17, 2018 by David Gillaspie

The impact of cancer news hits far and wide, but it is a fastball to the face of the patient and they have no defense. Imagine getting clocked in the head like Tony C and waking up to that ‘new normal.’ Watching it happen in 1967 made a lot of Little League […]

NIKE CANCER TEAM TRAINING CAMP REVIEW

May 15, 2018 by David Gillaspie

After a diagnosis for hpv throat cancer I found a cancer team. An Ear, Nose, and Throat specialist, a radiation oncologist, and a chemo-therapy oncologist, all gathered data for my best outcome. That was the shared goal. I had a couple of others I shared with them, like avoiding opioid addiction and secondary […]

CANCER EXERCISE EXPLAINED BY CHEMO RADIATION

May 7, 2018 by David Gillaspie

An article came out yesterday supporting the connection between cancer treatment and cancer exercise. It’s a positive connection in case there are doubts. ‘The Guardian’ rolled out a well studied post with a sub-title, “Leading Australian researchers back world-first campaign for activity to be part of any treatment,” under this title: […]
