May Old Acquaintance Be Recalled

Susannah Fox | December 22, 2007

Since it is the season for “Auld Lang Syne” and reconnecting with old acquaintances is an internet pastime, I wanted to link to a wonderful article by Wayne Cooke, a stage IV colon cancer survivor and true e-patient.

I haven’t seen him in many years, but because of online storytelling, I am up to date on the Cooke family’s travels & travails and newly aware of how flagging down a plane in Paris can prepare one for facing down colon cancer.
