CURE is a quarterly magazine that we had first picked up at Desert Oncology during a particularly long wait. They offer complimentary subscriptions to patients, survivors, and caregivers and we have found many of the articles to be interesting - and straightforward.

Back in early April, I got a wild hair and decided to make an attempt to take some these random ramblings and do something productive with them. Encouraged by a handful of suggestions and one particularly pushy... er... enthusiastic friend (thank you, Bella) that I should make something more of some of these writings, I submitted a handful of entries to a couple of magazines, including CURE.

After not hearing anything for months, I received an email from CURE that they wanted to include my submission in their Fall issue. In disbelief, I signed their contract, sent it back, and not long after, received my small (but IMPORTANT!) check in the mail. Sure, I should have framed it, but I chose to do the boring thing with it, and stuff it in the bank. I didn't mention this to too many people - I'm not quite sure why - perhaps I wanted to see it in print to make sure it was reality.

We haven't received the hard copy yet, although I'm certain it's on its way - but the issue went live online today.

My First Byline!

First, perhaps only, but either way, pretty cool stuff...
