interest
>
> Hello Everyone,
>
> Last week I watched Calvin Trillin being interviewed by
Charlie Rose.
>
> He spoke of his wife who lost her battle to cancer on
11 September  
> 2001
> (which resonated with me because that is the date I
started  
> treatment for IBC)
>
> Alice had lung cancer not IBC which she battled for 25
years in  
> spite of the
> very harsh prognosis that was given initially.  And
throughout that  
> time
> her husband says she was an "advocate" for
those around her in their
> battles with cancer-- so much so that Calvin says he
feared she  
> would run
> into problems for practicing medicine without license -
again  
> something
> that I could understand having that same incentive to
help.
>
> He mentions that many people advised his wife to treat
her cancer
> with many things - peach pits - for example.  He says
that his  
> understanding
> of alternative medicine is a doctor not trained at John
Hopkins.
>
> But the main idea of the book is a husband remembering
his wife.
>
> Here is a link to a review.  I am just going to see if
this is in  
> my bookstore
> or I will order it and thinking especially of all the
husbands who  
> participate
> on this site, I thought to bring it to everyone's
attention.
>
> The Charlie Rose interview might also still be found on
some  
> website- I think the main
> website features most recent interviews and the
archives might be  
> pay for view.
>
> There is also a NYT book review here:
