I may have created the wake, but you are now doing the work, following the premise of "Active Hope" that my book promotes to increase the odds for both length of life and quality of life after a cancer diagnosis. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing so much of your own cancer story, which is sure to be inspirational to many, also. It is to me. :)<br /><br />DianaDiana Dyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13307130287236271985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7394312676214248679.post-76201536444105519722012-04-21T00:52:25.287-04:002012-04-21T00:52:25.287-04:00Correction: Barbara Hammer is an experimental film...Correction: Barbara Hammer is an experimental film maker, not a documentary film maker.

And I am always thrilled to have a super-survivor like yourself bless me while I'm coming up behind you. <br /><br />During my chemo, wearing my best head scarf, I went to see a documentary by film maker Barbara Hammer about her own cancer survival. I got to meet her one afternoon when she was in my town for the film's showing. "Pass me the torch!" I said to her, and she mimed coming across the room with a torch in her hands and giving it to me. We were both laughing, but we meant it, too.<br /><br />Honestly, in both your case and hers I really feel like I am pulled in your wake. And that I'll have to do this for someone else in turn.<br /><br />To our health!Marunoreply@blogger.com
