Meet your body's worst tenant

Freedom springs from picturing your body correctly.

Holding this torch, Barbara Conable, a teacher of body movement, has for decades liberated the worn and aching.

Her business is joints and tendons, but think deeper. In cancer your worst tenant is scheming to take over the building. You ought to pay close attention.

This blog focuses on advanced prostate cancer, ignoring the iffy kind we wish we had instead. What doctors do about people like us gets less coverage than what we’re doing here in the first place. How does our cancer work? How do our treatments work? How do they fail?

Your host is the medical equivalent of a jailhouse lawyer. “Patient advocate,” euphemistically. Nothing here is medical advice.

You, too, I imagine, will walk into the treatment room unlicensed and uncredentialed.

We can be ready to listen clearly, question perceptively, and, as required, stand and deliver as our own best advocates.
