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.
