Cass Brown, diagnosed with colon cancer six years
ago, blogs CancerGiggles with open honesty because he believes
that when you show people the respect of being honest with them, they are honest with you. Brown is not a big fan of
small secrets and untruths, and frankly, when you may be facing death, there is no time for lies. Brown has a humorous
insight and perspective when it comes to being a colon cancer survivor. He introduces the CancerGiggles blog as an idiot's guide to accepting, living with,
laughing at and dying from cancer. As Brown says, "I could have written some beautifully crafted, grammatically
correct essays but I hope you will understand, that when I say "I don't have a lot of time" I mean it far
more literally than you do." The CancerGiggles blog has become a book, inspired by the blogging he has done for the last two years. Brown reminds us, as he continues to blog about colon cancer survivorship, to laugh and love most, when the going gets most serious.
1. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. More of us cancer survivors need to share our stories and be more transparent about our experiences. One of the reasons I wrote "Trading Ashes for Roses" was to help those going through breast cancer the tools to help others going through the same experience.
God bless you for sharing your journey!
