Welcome back, dear readers. It’s always a pleasure to compile the highlights of this week’s blogosphere for you.
September already! For Becky, it’s the first day of class and a time of transition.
Gabby weighs in on the news of Australian model Elle McPherson’s decision to opt out of traditional cancer treatment, sparking a debate on alternative approaches.
ASCO’s Richard Schilsky joins the Our MBC Life team for its Season 9 opener to discuss the TAPUR Study, how to join a clinical trial for agnostic therapies and what to expect.
If you missed last week’s conversation between Terri and Beth, catch up with it on Beth‘s blog this week.

Carolyn grapples with the ethical complexities of “Top Grateful Patients” fundraising and PR campaigns.
Barbara writes about the importance of respecting a breast cancer patient’s autonomy and avoiding offering unsolicited advice.
Finally this week, Connie completes her pilgrimage along the Camino Way. I love this picture of her celebrating her achievement – not just the physical journey she has completed, but the psychological, emotional and spiritual journey too.
Until next week,
Yours with much love always

Thanks a lot, Marie. It was one of those long-held dreams that finally came true. Now, it’s hard to believe I did it! Walking that long, contemplative path gives plenty of time for soul-searching and basking in nature. I’m grateful for all the Camino, and those ‘people in my path,’ graciously gave me over the 14 days.
Best to everyone!
Connie

Also “Congrats Connie” on your Camino adventure!
