Tumor Diary

Yeah it’s an interesting name, no doubt. 🙂

I was looking at Brian’s weblog, and saw a link to this series of articles from the BBC about a man and his battle with brain cancer. Pretty interesting stuff and it definitely fits the overall idea of linking to sites by and about people overcoming their setbacks, whether it be child abuse, mental illness, cancer or other disabilities.

Speaking of which, in going through the blogroll today I’ve noticed some of these have either stopped blogging, or are lost to the ether for some unknown reason. I need to find some more blogs to link to. Any suggestions?

  • Daisy Coleman Found Her Voice, But Her Struggle Didn’t Stop

    Which brings us to Daisy. She did not get her justice from the court system, quite the opposite. But, she did something else that many assume is a sign of “being healed”, she found her voice. She told her story, she had a movie made where she could speak her truth to the whole world. Surely, that is healed, right?

    As we now know, that probably wasn’t the case. I assume that many people who watched that documentary went on to become fans of Daisy, admiring her for having the courage to tell her story, happy for her that she was able to overcome, but that had nothing to do with the reality of what surviving actually is.

    The coincidence that I spoke of came this morning, when I popped over to Twitter during a quick coffee break, and saw Rachel Denhollander, another survivor who’s made an appearance in a documentary, Athlete A, on her involvement with the Larry Nasser case, talking about this article:
