Aging - Health Issues

I started solo fulltime RVing when I was 50 and in great health. 16 years later, I'm still RVing, but nasty health concerns have reared their ugly heads.

Timing is Everything

January 5, 2019 by Malia Lane Leave a Comment

It seems to be time to accept that time has not stood still since I was first diagnosed in May with terminal lung cancer. My goal now is trying to reach peace and acceptance that the time is coming much faster than I originally anticipated. When I was first diagnosed and given average life expectancy… Read More »

How does it feel to know you’re dying soon?

January 2, 2019 by Malia Lane Leave a Comment

Well, technically, we’re all dying from the moment we are born. How long it takes to become aware of this fact and what we think about it after we know leads to a whole different consciousness. I was told in May 2018 that the average life expectancy of the stage 4 lung cancer I have… Read More »

Tough Choices Ahead

December 20, 2018 by Malia Lane Leave a Comment

All of my energy for weeks now has been taken up with getting my book finished and ready for Kindle and self publication. Even though I haven’t talked much about it publicly, this is not a new project – it’s something I started almost two years ago but I’ve dawdled and found excuses to do… Read More »

Cannabis vs. Opioids for Pain and Cancer

October 29, 2018 by Malia Lane Leave a Comment

Also: Can Cannabis Cure Cancer?? I’ve got a ways to go to catch up since my last post in August (Life and Death Decisions). Before that, I had a rude awakening to pain that can come with cancer (Pain is a Game Changer) – something I hadn’t experienced before since my terminal diagnosis in May.… Read More »

Life and Death Decisions

August 19, 2018 by Malia Lane Leave a Comment

I am the leader of my life, as far as making decisions about it anyway. So I’m going to start this by repeating that I’m not writing this to ask opinions on what I should or shouldn’t do. I write these things out as therapy or trying to sort through and get things straight in… Read More »

A Crap Shoot

August 11, 2018 by Malia Lane Leave a Comment

When I saw this cartoon, it seemed to depict the conflicts in perspective I’ve been dealing with lately. On that day in May when I was given the terminal lung cancer diagnosis and told they didn’t even have hope of either of the “big 3” standard treatments (surgery, chemo, radiation) offering a cure, there was… Read More »

Pain is a Game Changer

July 21, 2018 by Malia Lane Leave a Comment

Even before my terminal cancer diagnosis, I have always been told how brave and positive I am. I have always asserted that I most certainly am not always either one – I believe that’s way too heavy a burden to put on anybody. So today I’m going to write about a prime example to show… Read More »

Do I Have The Right to Die With Dignity?

July 14, 2018 by Malia Lane Leave a Comment

Who gets to make that decision? And what exactly does die with dignity mean? Is there really any such thing as dignity in death? Isn’t it something we’re supposed to fight against with all our might – just to stay alive at any price? Isn’t any quality of life better than death? I’ve had some… Read More »
