Thank you for sharing your experience.

Thank you for sharing your evolving heroic journey. It is inspiring to read how fully you have been applying your meditation and spiritual practice. Kathryn just sent me the blog link. Thanks to both of you for sharing.

I am just now on day 4 from a redo of an abdominal hernia that returned. It still feels like two swords went through the abdomen walls. I’ve been meditating, repeating mantras and visualiztions so your story resonates deeply with my experience. But it is rather minor compared with your story. My prayer is that the cancer does not return and that your mind-body is filled waves of golden light of healing

May you be healthy, happy and infused with lovingkindness and Peace!

Thanks for sharing your journey and your music–which of course are so much together. Wishing you all the best for continued healing, growing, living.

(BTW, the Gore-and-surgical-details part wouldn’t let me in, said “FORBIDDEN You don’t have permission to access.” No fair–as a nurse midwife, I’m all about gore!! };~) )

You have long been an inspiration and now you offer a close-to-the-bone account of a major challenge met straight on with music, mind training and team orchestration. You did it! May the sequel be free of danger and your companions only the most harmonious ones. Staying tuned and sending love to you and Kathryn. I look forward to talking with you soon.

Glad you have gotten through it. Both the writing on medicinal and spiritual healing are inspiring. Looking forward to talking again and again.

The level of detail is wonderful, even the gore, but I have very broad interests. All of this is part of your wondrous journey and it’s inspiring to see how you are embracing it on all levels, but especially how conscious you are of what you are experiencing because it enables you to share it with us.

I try to be always here–as you have! So tough realizing that at some point our togetherness has to become something beyond what we experience on this human plane. So far, that level of wisdom eludes me, much as I try… For now, we are both here! With all of these loving friends!

It sounds like you approached your ordeal with the right attitude and a great support system. Thanks for the reminder to pay attention to the essential things. And meditate!

I am holding you in my thoughts and meditation for continued healing and with gratitude for the inspiration your candor on the subject provides. It is ever my good fortune that our paths have crossed. Best wishes and hope to see you soon!

It got you through this, and could get you through almost anything that life throws at you. For as long as I’ve known you, you’ve kept a cool head in a shit storm.

I’d like to be the first to officially welcome your new neobladder to this world and wish it many wonderful years of draining “normally”! We’re all ecstatic about this best possible outcome (*and continued monitoring*) and are glad you’re here and learning to accept our help and concern.

I listened while reading. I am impressed (and relieved) beyond words by your mindful and spirit-full approach to this sudden and frightening turn of life’s path. You are inspiring! Please give my best to Kathryn. Sending love and good thoughts to you both.

The effect on hearing was interesting. It was entirely (just) tinnitus. Sparkling, very high frequencies like stardust. And this only happened a handful of times. I don’t believe there was any other effect on hearing.
