For all that have been following my posts on breast cancer, and specifically by mother’s breast cancer, I thank you for your prayers. As I have mentioned before, my Mom is not in the market for life insurance, but I believe that her experience and process offers...

As discussed last week, in an effort to kind of lay out the process that a woman goes through when diagnosed with breast cancer, my Mom has been gracious enough to let me talk about her experience. I believe there is some very real relevance in that, if my Mom was a...

Thank you again for all the prayers on my Mom’s behalf. She had a sentinel node biopsy of the lymph nodes yesterday and it showed that cancer had in fact migrated from her breast at least to the nearest lymph nodes. I will continue to follow her process in this...

I just received the pathology report that I mentioned in yesterday’s post from the lump removed last week from my Mom’s breast. As I mentioned, with this type of cancer this report is step one of two, with a biopsy of one or more lymph nodes next week...

I wrote a post about breast cancer last week. I was on the way to Wyoming as my Mom was preparing to have a lump removed from her breast. Thank you for your continued prayer. I haven’t received a copy of the pathology report yet but the lump was confirmed to be...

Last year my father, age 85, did battle with bladder cancer. He was blessed with great doctors and literally hundreds of people praying for him. Today you wouldn’t even know that he had been through a fight with a high grade, high stage cancer that takes more...

I’ve mentioned before that there is a problem in the life insurance business. Pure and simple, it’s greed. Agents are so protective of a potential sale that they will actually tell a customer they are uninsurable, rather than admit they are the wrong agent for the...

We’ve often discussed in this forum that one of the most prevalent risk factors associated with obesity is the increased risk of cancer. Scientists are narrowing down some of the worst culprits of obesity and their role in that increased risk. Processed meats...

While I generally agree with most family history guidelines that life insurance underwriters use, there are times when common sense simply has to override the guidelines. After all, they are called underwriting guidelines, not rules. I’ve had to defend family...

In my passion to ensure that the world understands the risks of cancer, obesity and diabetes, I have often referred to heart disease, coronary artery disease, as a collateral health issue. What I have neglected to do is give the number one killer of men and women the...

We’ve often discussed that from a life insurance standpoint, breast cancer caught in the in situ stage, confined to a single milk duct, offers the best options for insurability post treatment. Early stage and grade lead to better rates, quicker. It has been...

I just did a quick gut check on my blogging efforts over the past year. Who really cares about what I believe and what I know about life insurance? Who reads this and really believes that I can do what I claim? I have had more than just a little interest in weblogs...

There’s that saying about beating a dead horse. Some days I wonder if the saying came about before me or because of me. Early detection of cancer is so critical to a good outcome, that I will continue to beat the horse, even though it’s dead, in hopes that...

DCIS (ductal carcinoma in situ) is a form of breast cancer that very rarely progresses to the point where it invades any neighboring tissue or spreads to other parts of the body. DCIS is never life threatening. In fact it is considered to be a precancerous condition....
