AT THE SONNY BONO BIRD REFUGE
This is not a lighthearted blog. Read it anyway.
Linda, my beautiful wife, died of ovarian cancer. However, it was not the primary tumor that
killed her; it was a metastasis – probably in the brain. Such is the case with most fatal tumors. This link gives you valuable insight into how
metastasis works. Simplistically, metastasis
occurs when a bit of the primary tumor breaks off and is transported by the
blood or lymph system to a place with the correct “micro-environment” where it
can lodge and grow. Much research has
and is being done on this question of micro-environment – and how to make it
less hospitable. This link concerns
brain cancer and is a bit technical in places – but you will persevere.
