Going through cancer as an adult is one thing, being that adults are generally better equipped to handle things a little better. Can you imagine what a child goes through as a cancer patient? Wow! In this interview, I had the unique opportunity to interview Rochelle Prosser (please see the interview I had done a few weeks back with Rochelle solo), as well as her 14 year old daughter Kayla.In this case, cancer has robbed Kayla of an important part of her childhood.

Bill Cushing enlisted in the Navy where he was assigned to electrician’s school before joining the fleet. He returned to college later only to drop out. As a result, He spent about 16 years drifting between numerous jobs (bartender, cabbie, retail sales, truck driver) with the bulk of his work life continuing as a shipyard electrician—mostly on oil tankers. Then, a series of work-related accidents and the coaxing of a good friend convinced him to try completing his academic coursework one more time. He began at a community college in Jacksonville, Florida intending to major in history but …

Lately, I have been reflecting more and more about the value of health, particularly as I see those around me start to face health challenges ranging from worn-out knees and hips to the daunting reality of cancer. These issues don't discriminate by age; they affect us all. Even though our life span has lengthened by a good twenty years from the 1950’s to today, the pursuit of good health is top of mind for creating the quality of life most all of us desire. For those of us reaching a certain age, we find our conversations quickly merge towards different ailments we all face. It’s almost la…

Growing up poor, Lindsey Coleman, became determined to live a prosperous and active life, different from his upbringing. While he began a prolific career, he also faced tremendous health challenges–nearly losing one leg, then another, and having to conquer a two-year bout with cancer. Lindsey constantly flummoxed his doctors with his determination, but this saved his leg and his life more than once. Suddenly, he was plunged into a coma, having extraordinary experiences on the other side. Most doctors believed he wouldn’t make it. They gave his wife, Jennifer, the most difficult decision of…

Dear Barbara, Will you discuss palliative sedation? Palliative sedation is a term used by hospice, palliative care, and medical professionals to describe giving large doses of sleep-inducing medications to induce unconsciousness. It is a pain management technique used when all other pain management options have been unsuccessful. It is not routinely used. I would even say it is seldom used. The National Cancer Institute defines palliative sedation as: “The use of special drugs called sedatives to relieve extreme suffering by making a patient calm, unaware, or unconscious. This may be done f…

I met John Adams in 1996 through one of my closest friends Toby Poser (Season 1, Episode 12 ATP) who would soon become his wife. John, at that time, was an ex-model, and a punk rocker fronting his band called Banana Fish that performed in bars around Manhattan with John sporting a white g-string (pun definitely intended) – talk about a man unafraid of risks! He was also a cancer survivor. Prior to his diagnosis, he was one of the chosen few men who sat at the apex of the modeling world working with geniuses like John Varvatos, Calvin Klein and Giorgio Armani.
