Paths of Cancer

The Paths of Cancer

Sometimes, unawares, you step across an unseen line that unleashes the darkness and the universe itself turns against you. I crossed that line on July 3, 1995 when I was diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer .

This site is an atempt to trace what followed .

Neila's Story	When the family moved from Brazil to the United States so my huspand could help his aging parents, I never dreamed that the one needing help would be me.
Medical Diary [Last update: 05/23/ 01]	A day by day account of all the doctor's visits, lab work, scans, x-rays, MRIs, radiation, hospital visits, ER visits, chemotherapy, having your blood drawn until your arm is black and blue . . .
Imaging Reports [Last update: 05/03/01]	Written reports for all diagnostic imaging: CAT scans and MRIs-- when I could get copies.
Lab Reports [Last update:7/ 27/00]	Lab work printouts--important when Neila undergoes chemotherapy.
Neila's Medicines [Last update: 05/08/01]	All current and recent medicines with links to pharmaceutical information.
Do not weep	This poem has meant a lot to me.
