A special shout-out to Jennifer and Ryan Ozawa, who are once again breaking new ground by sharing Jenn’s experience with a recurrence of breast cancer.
Four years ago, they created Jen’s Cancer Blog. It not only documented her fight with the disease, but gathered links to useful resources to assist others.
Earlier this month, after a long hiatus, a new post appeared.
“Season 2, Episode 1.”
The first time, cancer was scary because we had no idea what was coming. This time, it’s scary because we do.
Somehow, while coping with the cancer news, this amazing couple launched a daughter into a college career at UH Hilo, which Ryan somehow found time to write eloquently about in an essay posted to Medium.com.
Thanks to you both for sharing your story and your strength.
Cancer is becoming an all too familiar presence in our family these days as well, and your poise in facing the future is hopefully contagious.

Ah, man. I followed Jen’s story all those years ago. Thank you for sharing. I’ll head over to their blog now. 🙁
Thank you, Ian, for sharing these. The two late-night/early-morning ramblefests should pretty much cover my quota for a while. It’s my wife whose writing I crave, and look forward to on both fronts. Meanwhile, I’ll continue to check in here for the perfect balance of media insight and cats. Oh, the cats!
