I'm ready for my close-up, Mr. DeMille

Next week Group Health is going to come by the house to film me at home, in the yard, in my studio, riding my bike. 

When I was going through treatment for cancer, I enrolled in a study to research the effects of having access to a "nurse navigator." What this meant was an oncology RN called me once a week to chat about how I was doing, answer questions, assess symptoms, etc. It was a wonderful resource and I was fortunate enough to have a great nurse.

I saw my Oncologist every few weeks, but our relationship wasn't chatty. He was full of information, but wasn't particularly comforting. My nurse navigator gave me great comfort.

So, in the few years since the study, Group Health has decided to make the nurse navigator study a real program, and I was asked if I could be interviewed about my experience, and filmed.

Heck, yeah.

The video producer wants to film me in my studio, making jewelry. So, this morning the spouse and I spent a few hours cleaning the basement because my studio's down there. 

Between cleaning and hot flashes, it's a three-shower day.
