Profile Information

About Me:
I am a nearly 40 year-old, married mother of two great kids with autism. We live in the San Francisco Bay Area, after many years in southern California. I used to be an actress, now I teach Pilates.
About my Loss:
My dad was diagnosed with melanoma almost 2 years ago, at the age of 69. He underwent an experimental treatment, as well as chemo, and seemed to be doing really well. Then, a year ago last summer, a CT scan revealed that the cancer had spread to his brain. He went into the hospital to begin another treatment, but a few hours after the first one he deteriorated rapidly. he may have had a stroke. They upped the radiation, but the cancer spread too quickly. He died on September 29th, 2008.
He'd been a reporter for "The Boston Globe" for many years. 500 people showed up for his memorial.
