Friends,
It’s May, the anniversary death month of my mother, who died in 2001, shortly after Mother’s Day. I wanted to honor her memory this year by sharing with you something I’d written about her nearly four years ago – but also to explore the concept of treatment, illness, and healing.
The topics of medicine and illness come up a lot on AEWCH (two examples are on AEWCH 20 with David Shorter, and AEWCH 68 with Lisa Romero), if you hadn’t yet noticed, and I am very interested in exploring them more deeply. So let’s set the stage for that with this episode about three cancers – my mother’s, Susan Sontag’s, and mine; and how each of us dealt with them.
This episode is dedicated to my mother.
I love you, Mom!
