Paul overcoming a rare cancer (with your help). More waiting and meditating. April 5, 2015. April 5, 2015. Pippa and Paolo in meditation. I am leaning hard on my meditation and yoga practices this weekend. While my mind is moving constantly towards worry, anxiety and future unhealthy scenarios, I am doing a reasonably good job of catching myself when this happens and pulling myself back into the present, into right now, where I feel healthy and strong. Good news, part one. →. April 5, 2015 at 8:43 am.

Paul overcoming a rare cancer (with your help). It’s time to move on. February 6, 2015. February 6, 2015. I’m sure it was the right call, but Paolo would have gone with Marshawn Lynch. I’m over it. They lost. I accept it (sort of). I don’t get it, but I’m over it. As the headline in today’s Seattle Times promotes, it’s time to move on. Until next season #nextyear #what’snext? Getting back to yoga and walking as much as possible. 8221; and more time in quiet reflection. I have been thinking a lot this wee...

Paul overcoming a rare cancer (with your help). April 12, 2015.

It indicates sarcoidosis, which is essentially an inflammation or immune response to something or medical speak for we have no idea The tissue has been sent off to be cultured to see if they can determine what may be causing or have caused it. I certainly did not choose to undertake this journey, an...

Paul overcoming a rare cancer (with your help). Booking tee times and surgery dates. March 17, 2015. March 17, 2015. Just when I thought everything was falling into place I feel great, I am getting back to work, and I have taken out the golf clubs. Last week I was getting ready to book tee times and instead I am booking surgery dates. This is not where I thought I would be in mid-March. I feel far better physically than I thought I would at this point. No band for Paolo…. I am drawing on the good lessons...

Paul overcoming a rare cancer (with your help). MRI’s, meditation and mediastinoscopy. March 23, 2015. March 23, 2015. I will be in the core of an MRI machine in a few hours, the start of a week of diagnostics, surgery, doctors and anaesthesia. I have suffered a week of anxiety, but now I feel prepared for this. I am calm, peaceful and looking forward to getting answers and moving on in this journey. I am also up at 330 am so maybe I’m not quite as well adjusted as I am leading myself to believe). Today,...

Paul overcoming a rare cancer (with your help). February 20, 2015. 8220;Does anything look out of place? It is celebration week. Maya is home for Reading Week and both Stella and Olivia turn a year older this weekend. I am just trying to keep up as my recovery seems to have gone into reverse, partially due to self-sabotage. I spent a good deal of last weekend in the ER at Kelowna General Hospital and haven’t been well since. Did I think I was cured and could be less diligent? I am far more worried about ...

After chordoma, what’s next? | mychordomajourney

https://mychordomajourney.com/2015/04/21/after-chordoma-whats-next

Paul overcoming a rare cancer (with your help). After chordoma, what’s next? April 21, 2015. I received the great news that I appear to be chordoma free more than a week ago, and I haven’t really honored it yet. I thought I would be ecstatic and have a huge celebration. I am happy, obviously, and very relieved, however it is taking me longer to wrap my head around this than I expected. I guess I am having a hard time understanding what’s next? I am hoping to attend a retreat in Washington in early fall.
