AnCan and The Marsh (well renown, long-established theater company with a large following in the Bay Area and venues in San Francisco and Oakland) collaborateevery 4th Wednesday of the month for Solo Arts Heal.
Friends, it was my absolute privilege to choose, produce, and host May’s guest – Karen Broder. A wordsmith, singer, musician, performance artist, raconteur, provocateur. “I’ve been called all kind of names and most of them are true. But that doesn’t tell the whole story.”Karen’s inimitable humor creatively crafts an arsenal of anecdotes to battle the forces of frustration — both real or Imagined.
You will absolutely love this show, the only disappointing part is it doesn’t go on longer! Karen will regale and reveal some of the stories she spins to throw shade at serious, if not, trivial irritations. Enjoy a dose of home grown ‘Humor Infusion’ to whet your psyche with laughter, art, and song.
Karen is one of our very first art friends, and a beloved member of our community. It has been a pleasure getting to know Karen, and you’ll get to know her even better after this show.

Hack Your Health: The Secrets of Your Gut is a great Netflix documentary
If you were walking down E. Luray Avenue in Alexandria, Virginia, maybe you saw this house ….
In front of that house was a table…..
… not, just any table but one bedecked with a white tablecloth, candle, red rose in a vase, wineglass, empty chair and more …
As you may have guessed, this is not just any house. Captain Jim Marshall (USAF Rtd) lives here with his good wife, Gail. It was Gail who came up with the idea to set up this symbolic table
On This Memorial Day We Honor The Fallen Soldier ★★
This table is reserved to honor our brave and selfless American military members who have perished on the battlefield, those who have not been returned to us after being taken prisoner on foreign soil, and for those who went missing and have not found their way back home.
The table is round- to show our everlasting concern for our fallen and our missing, and set for one, it is small, symbolizing the frailty of one prisoner alone against his or her suppressors.
The white tablecloth – symbolizing the purity of their intentions to respond to their country’s call to arms.
The single red rose– reminds us of the life of each of our fallen, and the loved ones and friends who miss them each and every day.
The vase is tied with a red ribbon – a symbol of our continued determination to remember our fallen and find our missing.
The slices of lemon – on the plate is to remind us of the bitter fate of those who will never return.
A pinch of salt– symbolizes the tears endured by the friends and families of those who have fallen and of those who have not returned.
The inverted wine glass– they cannot toast with us at this time.
The empty chair– they are no longer with us.
The candle – is reminiscent of the light of hope which lives in our hearts to illuminate their way home from their captors, to the open arms of a grateful nation.
Thank you Jim and Gail from all of us at AnCan Foundation on this National Memorial Day holiday!
Summarizing a webinar: Pet Aging, Illness, and Loss
Here at AnCan, we like to consider all aspects of our community’s livelihood. Whilst juggling our various illnesses with the demands of everyday life, some of us have the honor and privilege of sharing our lives with animals that love just as deeply as we do. Many have been there for us during the most difficult times of our lives. Through diagnosis, treatment, recovery, daily living, grief – you name it.
Trigger warning: Pet loss
I recently got the chance to listen to a webinar about grieving and end-of-life care for pets. This webinar, titled “Pet Aging, Illness, and Loss”, was hosted by Mettle Health. I’ll link it down below. Their guest speakers were veterinarian Mary Gardner & host BJ Miller. Mary Gardner specializes in end-of-life care for animals and euthanasia. It would seem to me that she also specializes in compassion; compassion for the pets she encounters and for their human caregivers.
I’m actually typing part of this blog post one-handed, as a newly rescued kitten purrs in one of my arms. We found her underneath a car just the other day. The life of an animal lover can leave our hearts so full. As cherished members of our families, pets provide love, comfort, and even health benefits – making their end-of-life care an equally crucial and compassionate endeavor.
I had to prepare myself for this one. Anyone who knows me or who’s taken a class with me will know how much my pets mean to me. And when you’ve had as many pets and emotional support animals as I have, you’ll know what it’s like to grieve them. It can be just as painful as losing a human loved one; and for me, the impact of the loss of a pet and the loss of a human are exactly the same.
Mary addresses an important question that doesn’t have a clear answer.
“How do I know when it’s ‘time’?”
They start by talking about the role of pets in our lives and how it’s changed over time. These days when people come to her for help, their pets have lived their lives in the lap of luxury, with all the pillows and modern comforts they could want. That’s an exaggeration, but you get the picture!
I remember a time when it was common for dogs to be chained up outside. Honestly, that’s still the case in some homes. Cats did, and still do, aimlessly roam the streets. The first dog I ever grew up with was named Jack. He was an absolutely sweet & protective German Shepherd mixed breed dog who lived his life often, but not always, chained to my grandparent’s front yard in the inner west side of San Antonio, TX. It was a different time, with a different attitude towards pets. I spent as much time outside with him as a 6-7-8-9-10-year-old could.
Working animals have their place, too, and no judgment at all for people whose animals/pets are working pets. The grand takeaway from this, however, is that no matter what, we still want them to have as happy and pain-free of a life as possible. It’s about compassion and care.
There are so many reasons to euthanize. Quality of life for the pet & caregiver fatigue are probably the biggest things to consider. Think about your “monetary budget, your physical budget, and your emotional budget”. I thought that was a great way to phrase it.
The entire point of euthanasia (and of this webinar) is to be able to minimize suffering, no matter their role in our lives. It’s a gift, really.
Quality of life
So, how can you tell if a pet is near its “time”? Gardner gives examples based on breed and ailment. Arthritis in big dogs, breathing problems, and more. Then she sprinkles in answers as to how she might assess the quality of life of this pet. She will go through a list of questions with clients that give her an idea of how to guide them. Consider this: How do they live? Is it living?
Sometimes their physical body is ready, but their mentality may not be. It can be hard to judge when it’s time because of that.
One thing Gardner stresses is that “It will always seem too soon until it’s too late”. Euthanasia is not about giving up. “It’s about ensuring that their goodbye is good.” Here’s something that hit home for me: if you know for sure it’s time, they’re usually really suffering.
When I heard that, I had flashbacks of moments where I regretted waiting too long. If only I’d had someone to tell me that the kindest thing to do would be to euthanize my pets before it was too much for them. My beloved Green Spotted Puffer fish, Puffy, comes to mind. I regret euthanizing when I did, and wish I’d proceeded sooner. I still feel a tinge of sadness every time I think about him. I’ve got to remember, though: he lived a very long, full life for a pufferfish in captivity. The happy, blissful days, far outweigh and outnumber that time in our lives. Hold on to those memories. Don’t put yourself down for feeling like you didn’t make the right call at the right time.
Quality of life continues to be a question that doesn’t have a clear answer. You’ve probably heard the reassurance, “Don’t worry, you’ll know when it’s time”. Well, actually, it isn’t that easy. You may even hear that sentence from veterinarians themselves. Unlike their human counterparts, veterinarians are typically not trained to have these end-of-life conversations. They may know the ins and outs of veterinary care, but they may be a little bit lacking in the palliative care and hospice departments. Of course, this doesn’t apply to all vets.
For Gardner, some people call her saying “We’ve had such a terrible week, I think it’s time”. Or, the opposite – “We had such an amazing week, I think it’s time”.
Caregivers
The webinar also talks about the role of caregivers. Human caregiving and animal caregiving have the very same symptoms. Anyone surprised? Not me. Gardner noticed this when she went to a conference about end-of-life care for humans. Caregivers for animals express the very same issues. It’s an emotional, physical, and monetary toll. This can be especially true for people in our AnCan community – those of us who are also living with cancer or chronic illnesses, or who are also caregivers to a beloved human.
I remember times when I declined to go out with friends on trips, or even a single night out when I had my rat, Pokka. Rats have a shockingly short lifespan, and this little rat and my pufferfish were my world at the time. I felt so bad leaving Pokka in his cage for too long, as he couldn’t live with any other rats. For 2.5 years, I just needed to be home for him. Although I felt bad for declining so many invitations from family and friends, I don’t regret spending a single second with my Pokka. I knew that my time with him was limited – especially as he got older, and his body started to deteriorate. For me, it helps to remember that those 2.5 years are just a drop in the bucket compared to how long my life could potentially be. It was all worth it.
It’s ok to feel frustrated at the situation. You may be feeling emotionally and physically tired. It’s possible to simultaneously be tired of the burden of all your pet’s problems, and want nothing more than to be there for them. Try to get support. Respite care is ok to ask for, even for pets. No judgment, whatever your situation is. It just is hard.
As with human care, hospice and palliative care are different (but related). Gardner works with clients to navigate both forms of care. Both she and BJ talked about how hospice and palliative care have negative connotations in the eyes of many people. Palliative care is the pursuit of a good quality of life. Hospice is all of that, but when the end is in sight. Have these conversations about palliative care and hospice if you feel your pet needs it.
Overall, this was a wonderful listen. Check out the full webinar here:

There are some support groups you can find online, in addition to Facebook groups. I’m personally part of a private pet loss group on Facebook. Here are some resources I found just with a quick Google search:

Talking Estradiol (E2) for Recurrent and Advanced Prostate Cancer: Wassersug et al
AnCan is grateful to the following sponsors for making this recording possible: Bayer, Foundation Medicine, Janssen, Myriad Genetics, Novartis, Telix & Blue Earth Diagnostics. Sincere apologies to all for failing to record our May 6 Group. It was totally a platform fault and not down to AnCan. As regulars are aware. this is a very rare event. AnCan hopes this session might make up for it.
Estrogen in its various forms has long been used as a primary and secondary means of managing prostate cancer. Primarily it can be used in place of an LHRH ADT drug. In its secondary capacity, it can be employed in addition to an LHRH drug to help men cope with side effects arising from lack of estrogen caused by the LHRH drug. These side effects include hot flashes and weakening bone density. Today Estradiol (E2) is considered to be a safe treatment when used as a skin patch or gel versus its original application in pill form that carried significant cardiovascular risks.
The foremost peer expert on the use of estrogen to manage prostate cancer is Richard Wassersug, Ph.D, author of Androgen Deprivation Therapy: An Essential Guide for Prostate Cancer Patients and Their Loved Ones that is now in its 3rd Edition https://connect.springerpub.com/content/book/978-0-8261-8403-0. Richard is also an AnCan Advisory Board Member.
In this 60 +minute discussion, Dr. Wassersug talks with two patients about using estradiol. One has used for primary control for 17 years, and the other just started using an Estradiol patch to control side effects alone. He is also joined by AnCan advanced PCa peer Moderators, Dr. John Antonucci and Rick Davis.
Rechallenging advanced disease with enzalutamide after Pluvicto is mentioned towards the end. Dr. Wassersug has since clarified that he favors rechallenging advanced disease with previous therapies after some form of radiation based on the abscopal effect. The use of enzalutamide in this context is not based on trial evidence.
AnCan asks that you first read Richard Wassersug’s book before reaching out to him. AND… Dr. Wassersug urges you to spend as much time exercising today as you have taken to watch this video!
We sincerely apologize, but due to technical issues out of our control with our GoTo meeting platform this meeting did not record. We will be back next week, see you then!
Join us for this ‘ripped from the headlines’ webinar featuring a hot topic in the Active Surveillance community.
When world famous physician-scientist, leader of The Human Genome Project and former NIH Chief, Dr. Francis Collins, suddenly needs treatment for his prostate cancer that has accelerated from indolent to aggressive faster than a Formula 1 racer, many patients and medical professionals ask – whats up?
The NIH/NCI is considered one of the best medical institutions in the world. Did their active surveillance (AS) protocol fail or was Dr. Collins an anomaly? Do patients need to worry? … and is ‘cure’ really a possibility for Dr. Collins?
At short notice, AnCan Foundation, ASPI and The Active Surveillor have gathered together two world-renown urologists who curate their own AS cohorts. Drs. Peter Carroll and Laurie Klotz will discuss their views on the safety of pre-treatment AS for prostate cancer. Howard Wolinsky will moderate the discussion. AnCan’s own AS Support Group Moderators will be speaking after the presentation sharing their own thoughts
