Today Laura and I are in Memorial Sloan Kettering’s inpatient facility for cancer patients. Laura was admitted yesterday. Her pain management doctor was struggling to control her pain and nausea via phone and wanted her to come in to be monitored 24/7 to find a more effective drug combination. Laura was vomiting up all her…

Together Forever
Laura woke up this morning and said ‘Come here. You are mine now!’ We’re both loving being married. We had no expectations, none. But it’s no exaggeration to say we are over the moon. It is as if the world revolves a little differently today – lighter, gentler and sweeter. If we’d planned our wedding…
Mrs & Mrs
We got married today…! …more details to follow
Good Samaritans
Yesterday I lost my purse (that’s ‘pocket book’ if you live in the US) in the back of a taxi cab. it contained nearly every vital bit of documentation Laura and I own and quite a bit of cash. A sweet man called Gregory called to say he had found it. And when I picked…
Having Hope
Laura – We are planning all these things that say I’m dying such as having the Visiting Nurse Services provide palliative care in our home and trying to decide whether to get married or not. I want to be linked to Lucie for eternity. We love each other so much. But I’m very sad and depressed…
When will there be good news?
Laura – Lucie picked up the full report of my PET/CT scan on Monday and we found the tumors spread much worse than we thought. The doctor didn’t tell us on the phone how bad it was. The cancer spread to most of my organs and my bones. Mucosal melanoma is the most aggressive cancer…
The Eye of the Storm
We always joked that when Laura started to stink it would be good news. Mid-week it happened. The blood from Laura’s tumors turned rank. ‘I smell like old dog,’ Laura wailed. Today as Laura’s fever hit 103 and rising, her whole body started to smell like a family of Gerbils was in bed with her….
The Gerson Clinic – we’re here!!!
Today we arrived at the Gerson clinic in Tijuana. It’s a small sleepy clinic (more like a hacienda) 2 blocks from the ocean. You would be in for a surprise if you were expecting the Canyon Ranch or the Hippocrates Institute. One big downer is that we have two skinny beds forcing us to sleep…
Moving in together
How do you combine 2 New York apartments into 1 when both are as tightly packed as ship’s cabins? We’ve no idea. Fortunately what we love most in the world is each other, rather than our stuff. So here goes…

Our Mission
Hi! We are Lucie and Laura. Last month Laura heard those words that no-one should hear in their lifetime. ‘Go home, there is nothing more we can do for you.’ She has a very rare melanoma of the cervix (under 100 cases worldwide). Conventional medicine has no cure for this kind of cancer. But…
