This blog used to be called "Maura vs.Toby"."Toby" was a four-pound Unclassified Sarcoma that surgeons removed from Maura's abdomen in April, 2008. She died on May 19, 2009. Toby's evil spawn may have killed her body, but Maura lives on. The tumors, on the other hand, were incinerated. They are gone. And she is in pain no more.

Stand Up to Cancer
This evening the three major networks will jointly sponsor Stand Up to Cancer to benefit cancer research. My only frustration is that I did not see sarcoma mentioned even once in the advertising for the event. It's just too rare--most people have never heard of it. Unfortunately for Maura and those also afflicted by this disease, the bulk of the funding for cancer research goes to the biggies: breast, colon, lung, prostate-carcinomas and lymphoma. Nevertheless, I encourage anyone who reads this to watch the show.
