2020 will be a better year if we are just a little slower to react, and more eager to understand. ]]> 226 http://ikepigott.com/2019/12/06/one-year-with-cancer/ http://ikepigott.com/2019/12/06/one-year-with-cancer/#comments Fri, 06 Dec 2019 08:01:40 +0000 http://ikepigott.com/?p=212 http://ikepigott.com/2019/12/06/one-year-with-cancer/feed/ 20 212 http://ikepigott.com/2019/07/23/32-23-the-countdowns-are-on/ http://ikepigott.com/2019/07/23/32-23-the-countdowns-are-on/#comments Wed, 24 Jul 2019 04:06:01 +0000 http://ikepigott.com/?p=202

Surgery went well - now we're on to radiation before coming back to the chemo. 2019 will be a long year.]]> http://ikepigott.com/2019/07/23/32-23-the-countdowns-are-on/feed/ 20 202 http://ikepigott.com/2019/06/08/homeward-bound/ http://ikepigott.com/2019/06/08/homeward-bound/#comments Sat, 08 Jun 2019 20:36:56 +0000 http://ikepigott.com/?p=196

An update on where we are with the diagnosis and the treatment - and in every way, things are a little less hairy.]]> http://ikepigott.com/2019/03/02/less-hairy/feed/ 21 170 http://ikepigott.com/2019/02/16/witch-hunts-and-drumheads/ http://ikepigott.com/2019/02/16/witch-hunts-and-drumheads/#comments Sun, 17 Feb 2019 03:52:27 +0000 https://ikepigott.com/?p=156
