Listened to your interview on BBC--you go, girl! I'd read Bill Keller's article in the NYT and had issues with it as well. It's one thing for his father-in-law (whom I assume was probably in his 80s) to choose palliative care over any further treatment, but it's a completely different story for a woman Lisa's age who has young children. She shouldn't be criticized for fighting as hard as she can or for writing about her experience. Really proud of you, Amy! Good job.
This article is something that will help me with my class assignment. It helped me to better understand another aspect of this topic. Thanks. Viralnova
I'm a guest on this BBC program about columns by Bill Keller and Emma Gilbey Keller, criticizing a woman who blogs about her life with cancer. I came out of the blocks a bit wild, but had a very good conversation you can hear by clicking the Listen Now link:

Cute! I know that feeling. It is passing, and I hope it will pass for you too, very soon.
thanks for your encouragement Mary Beth! I feel stronger already : )

thanks Texas T, I'm glad you heard the show. I love your blog, no matter what Bill Keller says.
