No autographs, PLEASE! If you haven't already seen the spread in NY MAG, you can see it online at http://nymag.com/news/features/2007/cancer/32123/index8.html
For those of you who know me, you know that the writer of my profile didn't capture my personality correctly. I was trying to convey the fact that the world around has moved on and I am stuck in the same place. You know I'm not boy crazy or trying to get preggers. I would also never say MY cancer is worse (not worst as the first line states) than others. Cancer sucks at any age, but little kids are very resiliant and older folks have already lived their lives. BUT for those of us in between, cancer comes at the a time in our lives when things are just getting started. Not to mention each experience with hospitals, drugs, side effects of chemo, etc. is different for everyone and each age group has there own issues (I could write a book about that alone - well I've considered many things while lying in a hospital bed). Anyway, the point I was trying to make is that I wanted readers to consider what it was like for me and others in my position (like they did in the other profiles) and I don't feel she captured it well at all.
And I could have used a whole spread just to talk about all the side effects and crap I dealt with. Her shopping list of ailments didn't convey half of the suffering. It almost sounded like no big deal. Just so you know, neutropenia and chemo brain are not the same thing. UGH!
WOW i guess this is why people have blogs... thanks for reading my rant =)

Hi Lindsey,
Don't get discouraged by a news reported not entirely getting your feelings right. 90% always seem to hear something different from what is actually trying to be conveid. It is difficult for anyone going through what you have gone through to truely understand how you really feel unless they have been where you are in that hosiptal bed.
Don't worry about what others think of the article. Its only the ones closests to us that really understand how we feel.
I can't tell you how surprised I was when I was reading NY Magazine on the train from DC back to NYC and I see a photo of my beautiful friend Lindsey! I loved the photo! Even though you're famous now, you still seem down to earth.
Hugs & kisses,
Isabella L.
