What Happened?

We were going along pleasantly when Lindy lost his balance and the control of his left hand. Three months later he is minus one brain tumor and in chemo for an esophageal tumor.
I started The Good Food Fight as a way to siphon off the masses of information I’ve obtained and process daily. It’s about my relationship with Lindy and his fruitless efforts to ward off good nutrition. It’s about grief and worry and fear. It’s about feeling -- or trying to feel -- in control.
Will it “work?” What does “work” mean? If I knew, I’d answer. Do I have an inflated sense that what I’m doing will keep Lindy alive? I don’t think so. But research shows that a sense of control helps survive. I don’t know about Lindy, but it’s keeping ME alive, engaged, purposeful.
I hope this blog opens the door to good information for families who are also facing this diagnosis. Please don’t think I post as an expert. I post as someone who reads too much and overprocesses information. I welcome any input.
