Keep your chin up. Like a nosebleed.
I got that off facebook.
Ha.
Light precipitation tonight. All over my pillow. Every morning I wake to tickle from disengaged follicles. My hair is falling, my hair is falling! Evidence. Finally! The little piles make me think of the pleasant tangles washed up on the beach of Georgian Bay. Each length has a story, not necessary to know. But necessary to note. This reverse sowing that’s taking place on my head.
I am so relieved.
Suppose your hair doesn’t fall out.
This from Bobcat while shaving my head. He was concentrating on the back of my scalp. Two long Hassidic like sideburns framed my otherwise exposed face. An oversight or it just amused Bobcat to suggest eastern european origins. Wrong gender, but what the hey.
Whaddya mean suppose my hair doesn’t fall out?
I began to tug at the wispy sideburns.
I mean it would be funny if after you get buzzed, you don’t lose your hair. Ha!
Larry David eye narrow.
But EVERYONE told me they lost their hair. Sindi had thick, beautiful Indian hair. She thought it would last. Then it fell out in clumps in the shower one day.
I paused, captivated by the drama of it. An extreme Rapunzel moment.
You know Bobcat, every Cancer rookie believes they are different. The Cyclophosphamide or Melphalan is not gonna make ME pukey or constipated or infertile….
I’m special.
Well as it turns out, the Great Cancer archipelago is populated only by special people.
Who are there by special invitation.
Most of my words were drowned out by Bobcat’s buzzer. Even in my own head.
That’s why I’m happy I’m losing my hair. It’s a trap, but I’m entitled to this happiness. This increment of everything. So I enjoy the increasing spread across my head. There is a lot to be said for the impact of a shiny scalp. And never again will it be so acceptable for someone to find your hair in their food.

So Operation Reboot Chemo began on November 23rd. The first step in mobilising those stem cells. Three days after that first hit, Neupogen or G-CSF injections began. G-CSF stands for ‘granulocyte-colony stimulating factor hormone’ and ‘I’m ready for my Master’s degree’. So the neupogen stimulates your bone marrow and increases the number of circulating stem cells. Chemo kills, neupogen grows, so you could say there’s an accelerated overthrow of the marrow status quo. A White Revolution without the KKK or the Shah. Then after a few days, you report to the Stem Cell Collection Unit. Blood is drawn and the results of the blood work, especially a test called CD34 decide whether you get hooked up to a cell separator device, known as an apheresis machine.
You can salute now.
It’s metallic transcendence.
Dials turn in steady sounds on the COBE Spectra Machine. I don’t know how to pronounce apheresis. But something close to sacred is taking place.
Or at least, they don’t let the sacred be taken away.
For a better description of the process http://goodbloodbadblood.wordpress.com/
Me, I don’t have the knack of objective reportage.
So I will digress.
I got my first neupogen injection at PMH on November 26th. After that a homecare nurse came every morning to affix sharp point to syringe. I insisted on two separate injections as one continuous plunge felt like a fountain on fat wings.
Talk to me. Distract me!
Dad blinked from the computer where he was researching MM. My father has walked all the earth and back in pursuit of a cure without leaving home.
Moved by the quiver in my eyes, the nurse started talking. She told me about a trendy clothes store I have never heard of and cannot pronounce. She spun a story about bargains and made in Bangladesh wares which made me forget the neat ways of her hands. And when it was over we threw the used syringes into a glass bottle.
I have medical waste!
Neupogen can cause bone ache. Or let’s say bone sensation.
Finally. A message from the marrow. Let it tilt back its maw and speak like a gloomy pelican.
Oh boy.
I didn’t know what I was in for.
Black merchandise.
Yellow bone.
Who has seen your bones?
Neither you nor I
But when you bow your head in pain
The marrow passes by
And Christmas is close. I have a list. It’s simple.
I wish everyone Critical Illness Insurance.
And for myself, a zygote.
Children: gather round and heed my advice. Ensure you have Critical Illness insurance. Most critical illnesses including Cancer are covered under these policies. If you are diagnosed, you should receive a tax-free lump sum payment designed to alleviate the financial strain and deal with non-medical expenses. Let me tell you- you don’t think about it when you’re a young raver and everything circulates around your pretty axis. You don’t want to think about it later when gravity takes charge. I hope you never have to cash in, but…
Think. About. It.
Or don’t think about it. Just get some.
I owe my first born to the Actra Fraternal Benefit Society. It’s my actor’s union insurance program. They are providing me with some weekly income benefits and helping to cover the cost of medication. That’s one thing they don’t tell you when you join the Cancer Club. Membership is honking expensive. If AFBS didn’t help cover the cost of my treatment, along with the Trillium Drug Program, I’d be donating my internal organs for a profit. All of them.
Hey that reminds me. I still have a ziplock bag of my hair.
Yellow Fever
This gives me Yellow Fever:
Dear Lisa R Ray:
Thank you for your recent application for Line of credit Critical Illness and Life Insurance
Unfortunately, we are unable to offer you the Line of Credit Critical Illness and Life Insurance coverage based on your history of cancer.
Buh.
Double buh.
How dare you brand me not by the perfumed magnitude that I carry within, but by this hard footed detour where my body takes me for the moment. Are you punishing me, are you marginalising me for a condition which arrived from some outstation we cannot pinpoint or know?
Do we need to stand off for a fistful of dust?
I want to speak and be overheard. And stretch wide because there’s space enough.
Makes me want to lower my bald head and charge.
Can you say ‘advocacy’? Will you sell light on the road with me?
I went to Wellspring, a non profit organisation which offers a wide range of cancer support programs. I went for advice on government financial assistance, cause, you know, I’m unemployed. And I’m gonna remain unemployed for a while. By the end of my meeting, Eileen had a sticky smile and had to rub her forehead a lot.
As a self-employed freelancer, I have no access to UI or unemployment insurance. Canadian parliament just passed a bill entitling us non-conventional workers to the same, but let’s see what happens. As for CPP or the Canadian Pension Plan, you have to contribute 4 years out of the last 6 to qualify for disability.
So, if you’re in Canada, make sure you contribute to CPP. Even if you are a self-employed shmuck like I was.
Except I contributed three out of six.
Um. You need a financial advisor. Eileen rubs her head one last time.
For the dead there’s land enough.
That Neruda. You can cross reference his every line.
So this Christmas, give yourself the gift of a little extra insurance.
And pomegranates. High in antioxidants. Dad wordlessly hands me a bowl every evening.
As for the zygote, I have not yet frozen my eggs. But I must. This morning I mobilised myself to a fertility clinic. I may need to delay my stem cell transplant to realise the hope for life in this life. A four celled zygote. We won’t call it Neville though.
That’s the name of our hairy baby. Bobcat and mine. More on that later.
Bobcat is back. I am at peace. This separation was not long. But it was too long. Yellow sobs and heart flutter became a cross country Bobcat ball breaking affair. We are entangled, we share a yellow soul. So bobcat out of the 416 is a wasteland arrived. He’s the source and without him the Yellow hive goes silent. It stop with a shudder, all my insides.
I have not been like this before. Besides shape shifting my body, the cancer has shifted my psyche.
It will be ok.
La la la la la.
He runs his hand over my shiny head.
Where else have you lost hair? Hmmmm?
LAUGHSHOCK: the recurrent shock of laughter in life. Or life in laughter.
Bad Bobcat. You so bad.
Another Shuvo-ism: we recycle every single molecule in our bodies on average every 7 years, you are just doing an assisted clean up of your immune system a little ahead of schedule!
Keep me posted as you prep for your coming ctrl-apple-reset
December 21st, the solstice is called Borodin in Bengali, my father’s native language.
Borodin means
Big Day.
I hope you happy everyday!
where else have you lost hair?? hahaha… good one. hmmm… you are really back this time. Very happy to read you post this time :). tc baby gal
If there is no imagining an after, we must choose to breathe, for others. They are waiting. Feel it. See it. Now.

Bobcat take care of “Angel on Earth”
Bobcat,
PLEASE make sure “Angel on Earth” has the Best Holidays and Christmas this year
Thank You Lisa for your precious soul and take care
hi
sexy.how r u.
The cancer may shift your psyche, but our support for you will stay solidly in place and grow ever stronger.
Never doubt that. From all corners of the earth…
I am a fan of your films and an even bigger fan of your interviews. I decided to drop by for a little education and to say that i think you are a incredibly interesting and beautiful creature. Thank you for sharing your experience, for educating and for motivating so many people with your amazing words spirit & strength. I wish you well- 2 wishes left.
Hey Lisa,
Thanks for sharing, your honesty is a source of strength for everyone. You’re such a strong heroine on and off screen. I esp. loved your subtle, light-hearted and moving performance in I Can’t Think Straight.
It’s crazy that there isn’t public insurance for critical illness–maybe in Sweden or some more progressive social welfare states. There’s always a fund-raiser! I know they did one for Woody Guthrie in the 60’s. There are a zillion fans that would love to be part of it.
Lots of love and light,
Anita (Toronto)
take care always Lisa.
Picture of Bobcat.. i demand! lol
Hey Lisa,
The first time I saw you was in the film Bollywood/Hollywood. (In Israel no less btw!) I just learned that you are battling cancer. I can relate. (I have skin cancer, basal cell carcinoma) I’ve been dealing with chemo, and alternative treatments for years. Even though I have it under control, it will be with me for the rest of my life. What I have learned is to never think bad thoughts about my cancer. Its one thing to “stay strong” but to “think strong” is a different outlook all together. Staying positive is what keeps me going. (Btw I was diagnosed with BCC back in 1982 when I was 12.) I am so happy to see that you “think strong” too and that you roll with what life has given you. I send you good thoughts and may you beat this and soon. Take care 🙂
Ymina
P.s. I also have Cerebral Palsy from birth and I’m in a wheelchair-my favourite saying is this. Its not what you roll but how you roll. Keep “rolling” Lisa. You can win.
Hello Lisa
I dont feel you will loose much hair and even so, it would be back after you get cured….get well soon…we all love you and want you back…
May GOD bless you and have a peaceful Christmas !!
Oh Lisa I thought that nyou had already frozen your eggs. Didn’t myou write something to that effect in one of your earlier blogs about the Zygotes?
I don’t know Lisa, I am concerned over your wanting to put off the stem cell transplant. I considered MM to be like ALL diseases in my reality: “Time Sensitive” This means that the disease should be treaed ASAP because if new circumstaces occur at least you’ve established a baseline.
If (all things considered)your system is at an optimal level then you’d want that to be a baseline. Oh well what do I know? I just want you to get this SCT thingy done ASAP.
Oh and as far as Cost of medicatioon well one of the medications I take cost $2417.00 per month and that’s just for one perscription.
My dear Lisa,
Happy to see you here again before your Big Day.
It will be our Big Day, as well just because of YOU since all of us, your yellow diarists live our days with thinking of you, talking to you and writing to support you as much as we can.
I am grateful for every and each word you wrote.
Your bittersweet sentences grapped and twisted my heart. Love you for your openness and honesty, I want to believe that pouring your soul here to some extent makes this phase of your life a little bit easier for you.
Don’t worry about your hair, – I know it’s easier to say than to live through – but it will grow back after SCT and will be as beautiful as it was or even more.
You will reborn by the new year, 2010 will be a great year for you!
You are lucky to have Bobcat. I wish both of you all the best. You need him more than ever and he also needs you! Take care of each other!
“Here is the deepest secret nobody knows.
Here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
And the sky of the sky of a tree called life;
Which grows higher than soul can hope or mind can hide.
And this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart.
I carry your heart.
I carry it in my heart.”
E.E. Cummings
With love

hi.lisa
I’m glad to see your updates, hope everything goes well. A speedy recovery.
Take care “Angel on Earth”
Hello my dear,
Thank you for the Christmas wish… Critical Illness Insurance. I am happy to say I already have it… 🙂 Yes I wish I never have to cash it but…
Pomegranates, very high in antioxidants. thanks Dad, a good job! It will give your energy and strength to fight!!!
Do the zygote and like you need Critical Illness Insurance, you don’t have to “cash it” but you should have it.
I will think about you on the 21th while I am out the sea… 🙂 Wish you the best of everything. You know after that day you will have “bobcat” cuddling and snuggling…
Love,
My dear Lisa N.
You are in the wings of an angel, when you feel lost, stop and look carefully around you, somewhere in some way an angel will be waiting for help to find a way
When we believe in each other, we act like angels, giving confidence and power of faith.
I really love to personally look into those beautiful eyes and honestly tell you that you believe in you.
Happiness comes to those who perceive the world as a beautiful place, regardless of place or time.
I hope these words give you calm and joy in your soul.
Have a wonderful Christmas full of love and hope …
Carolina Hernandez from Mexico City … and hope my English is understandable
What do you mean or what is a Bobcat??? someone who is with you
I’m sorry for asking…
Dear Lisa,
All the best for your Big Day. You are in the prayers of so many, and that strength can take you further than any of us can even imagine. I admire and respect your spirit and persona more through the words on this blog than even in your best on-screen roles- which were ALL amazing, so perhaps that says a lot 🙂
As I read everyone’s comments, I can’t help but wonder how much it truly helps you to know that so many people all around the globe that you will never know or meet think the world of you without even knowing you, and are also fighting a battle of sorts, just by reading your posts regularly. I’d like to think that it really does make a difference, and that even in the toughest of moments, you find solace in the support you can both actually see, and that which you can’t. You are brave beyond words, and you inspire so many by just being able to fight- not only for yourself, or your Dad, or Bobcat.. but also for numerous fans.
Thank you for sharing your fight in the most sincere way- through words. With someone as wonderful as you raising awareness, I have no doubt that a cure for MM will soon be found.
Lots of love,
Priya
Lisa
I love your blog but sometimes it’s really hard, really hard to think about you and your disease, but i know each new blog i can see is a new victory!The weather must be really cold where you live, it’s like in my country, so take care you and your father!
Kisses from France
I’m sending you a pose for Christmas.
If you accept this gift then whenever you feel unsettled in your body and your mind wandering too far, hold this pose and reboot. As many times a day as you need to, get down and let this open your breath and your body. This pose has been healing medicine for me and now I’d like it to be so for you.
bam
Hi Lisa,

HELLO MY EMERAL- EYED !!!!
Cancer treatment is very expensive in Europe. treatment is very advanced here. Europe 5 times more expensive from here…material and spiritual shock..I wish I could do more 😦 I am very sorry Lisa ! that amount less for you I know.
You forgive me 😦
If you accept, I want to play a game with you.
This game is a little different from other games. “self-discovery game”.
The mind looks 2 kinds of world. one of the faces to the outside world. one looks at our inner world of our secret. We will look our inner world.
There are important rules of the game ;
1_ You will say first whatever comes in your mind.
no right and wrong. Be comfortable. Do not think direct
say Lisa.
2_ You never try to guess the answers.
3_ be honest with yourself.
4_ Be ready.
Maybe you can need pen or paper for this game.
ARE YOU READY ? I ‘m starting now….
* you enter into a vast desert. you ride a camel you are going in this vast desert. you drove camel, until fall exhausted from fatigue. What you say to this camel? .dont forget ıt carry long way to you.
* when you think ‘ I will die of thirst ‘
a beautiful oasis seemed Lisa . but the one arrive oasis before you.
Who is this other passenger ? someone named you know.But just one name…
*time passes very slowly in the desert. though centuries passed. The light seemed from remote village . You have finally come into place which will have Lİsa Ray. What do you feel ? When you come to the end of your journey.
*It’s time to leave with camel. Do not forget, you were very long time with camel. When you go down in from the top of camel, comes a new drive.and he or she is sitting where you’re up.
ho is new riders ? Choose another person in your life.
__ 0 __
Yes dear Lisa first you give your answers .
then I’ll make a little explanation. If you liked this game I will continue my blue rose. But You have to know this is not just a game. You can feel very special things abuot your inner world. This game about 53 different subject.
LISA=DOĞA
Oh, goddess Lisa!
I hope God will help you maintain the strength to to keep fighting. From many miles away, my best wishes, my faith and admiration are with you every day … A big hug
hello lisa
woking up and see that you are back it makes my day so happy and so beautifull!!!!!!!
take care and it will be BIG DAY and very important for all of us
kiss
HELLO MY EMERALD _ EYED !!!!!
This scenario describes and shows ; If you’re leave from your lover,
It reveals your feelings and how would you react…..
*You’re saying words to the camel..when your love the end. you say something to yourself .
If you say like this : “we will achieve anywise” or ” do not worry ,This does not go forever like this”
Did you pessimistic ?
” we have lost !. no no hope!. I’ll die here 😦 ”
“The oasis” symbolize.. people to solve their own problems .you said a name in here. that person helped you or When you need a help ,you want his or her help.
*you reached the village. This village shows, When your broken heart improves. It symbolize a new sense of yours
* The new rider ,you’re secretly competing with this person. you’re angry or you have broken heart because of he or she.. Who is she or he Lisa Ray ?
Yes Lisa this game like this. I do not know, maybe you know this game. Next subject better 🙂 Do you want to continue dear Lisa ? Do you want to play together ?
If you want, I will continue .If you do not like, I will not continue.

Yellolution
“The Mellow Diaries”
Hahahe! Waking up to fallen hair follicles, what an uncanny relief that must’ve been!! Imagine no hair fall! That wouldn’t be as pleasant a tickle as the one from the “disengaged follicles” now, would it! 😉
Yup… like everyone reacts differently to different scents, so do they to Carcinoma. Pukey, nauseous, infertile, or some even rookie, infidel or callous… who can say really! 😀
Bugger that, as long as any tarantelizing member of the Club smiles along the way, this Yellolution is every worth more than what the insurance will cover!
Here, saluting every stemcell within all groups of goodbloodbadblood, this Yellowchat is:
— an anomaly of emotions and moods, both yours and ours!! Cheers to inconsistency! What’s life without the inevitable Flux! Hang in there, Ray
— an intriguing universe that we’ve traveled with you, within and without, where every used syringe of your experience is anything but “medical waste”
— an exquisite hotbed of numerous other uni-zygotes like you, that have had the heart, soul, courage and compassion to share their Yellohistory here, only to find therapy in paragraphs by strangers!
— an inevitable distraction when you’re being painted (read: tainted) with suggestions, cures, diet plans, exercise routines…which I’m thinking you’d rather have when the nurse is injecting you 🙂
— an unbiased and genuine piece of advice about Critical Illness Insurance… this, you should charge heavy “premiums” for dah-ling! It shouldn’t be coming free to us!
Think. About. It.
— an unadulterated conscience where having followed your advice, we might never have a disturbed Eileen rubbing her head in dismay
— an untangled attraction…Your hair…duhh!! Auction it on eBay.in I’m sure there’ll be a buyer for that gorgeous mane, I mean cuh-mon! People buy space on someone’s forehead if its up for sale! You’ll definitely make enough money to stay away from selling your organs, all of them!
— an eventfully lit up Xmas where the gifts both you and us receive are sweeter than the pomegranates your daddah feeds you…high on antioxidents and very high lovetoxides!!
— an inexplicably loved Bobcat…what do I say but everyday with him must be borodin! What he is to you I’m happy you’ve deciphered!
— an unparalleled sense of belonging…
This one LR…is for how you Mellowed the Many Mania’s of MM.
Me…

Hello Lisa,
Love you as usual I’ll give me an insurance as you said…thank you for an advice…
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 😀
Lisa, I suggest to create the “Lisa Rani Ray Foundation” to support people with no CI Insurance.
Think about how much you raised for the 5Km Walk.
I know it would be a success.
“Remember always that you are just a visitor here, a traveler passing through. your stay is but short and the moment of your departure unknown.
Be near when help is needed, but far when praise and thanks are being offered.
Take small account of might, wealth and fame, for they soon pass and are forgotten. Instead, nurture love within you and and strive to be a friend to all. Truly, compassion is a balm for many wounds.
Treasure silence when you find it, and while being mindful of your duties, set time aside, to be alone with yourself.
You, no less than all beings have Buddha Nature within. Your essential Mind is pure. Therefore, when defilements cause you to stumble and fall, let not remose nor dark foreboding cast you down. Be of good cheer and with this understanding, summon strength and walk on.”
-Dhammavadaka
Ha! Well got all the love they want and the girl is busy. her boyfriend Bobcat.
Ха! Ну получили всю ту любовь, они хотят, и девушка занята. Там Bobcat.
Hi Lisa
About the hairloss……
This one is for Bobcat and for you!! Enjoy.
The 21st is big day but the shortest as well. After that the days are getting longer and brighter; looking 4ward to that.
And about the insurance, big fat buh. I’m on long term health care benefits, needed my insurance (witch I pay 115 euro’s a month for) had to fight to get what I needed and got it, but the last thing you need when you’re ill is to worry about money (and treatment).
Ah well!
Take care, kind regards Nicolle
Dear Lisa:
Forward!!! Go ahead. All blessings be with you this 21. It is the beginning of better times.
Peace
Jesse

hey! lets talk of life that is there at present and the reality. the treatment is on and u have taken ur decisions. so lets not discuss more options but Lisa watch 2012, ull get a very important message. that way it does’nt matter at all. so chill and watch AVATAR, the much awaited sensation, enjoy nature, wonderful company and all the things u can afford and like. make the best out of the present moment coz the future is not what the best person in the world also can control and neither is the past that can be altered.
do all good and nice things and dont even try anything evil-even if it is just a small thing for both….
WITH LOVE
for not only you Lisa but all those who can anticipate…………….

One more time:
For you and the Yellowlists:
“Color esperanza” – Diego Torres
It’s in your eyes with one look
What are you tired of walking and walking
And walking, spinning forever in a place ..
Is that windows can be opened
Change the air depends on you
Help you, it’s worth once again.
Knowing that you can, wanting to be able
Remove to remove them out fears
Paint your face the color of hope
Login to the future with the heart.
It is better than ever ship lost
Best tempted to stop trying
Although you see is not so easy to start.
Is that the impossible can be achieved
That sadness will go someday
And so life changing and will change ..
Feel the soul flies
For sing once more
Knowing that you can, wanting to be able
Remove to remove them out fears
Paint your face the color of hope
Login to the future with the heart.
It is better to shine
That only seek to see the sun
Paint your face the color of hope
Login to the future with the heart
Knowing that you can, wanting to be able
Paint your face the color of hope
Login to the future with the heart
Knowing that you can, wanting to be able
Remove to remove them out fears
Paint your face the color of hope
Login to the future with the heart
Knowing that you may want to be able
Paint your face the color of hope
Login to the future with the heart …
THANKS GERI!!!

Fight the fight and wounds will show. Keep strong and know that the war wounds make the story of survival so much better when the fight is won.
I love your humor 🙂 Thank you for sharing your journey with us. I find your stories inspiring and uplifting.
Dear Lisa
As the cretins wouldn’t give you insurance, and some procedures are expensive, can we help you in a financial way?
If you say YES, would you please set up an account and let us help you with the costs.
We care.
wow, I must have missed the blog where bobcat was described as Lisa’s boyfriend. I thought that picture of the cat was actually bobcat lol. Hi bobcat if you’re reading this, nice to know you’re not giving Lisa more chores by cleaning your litter all the time.
bam

Dear Lisa,
Thank you for sharing your life and thoughts with us. You are an exceptional and inspiring person. You’ll beat MM, I’m 100% sure of it. I don’t believe in “incurable” diseases. The researches just have not found a cure yet but they will soon. I’m a researcher myself (in chemistry) and sometimes can’t believe how far and how fast everything develop. Impossible becomes possible.
Bernie (Canada) has a good idea. If you have any financial problems because of the insurance please let us know. I’m sure many people will help.
You probably know that the righ diet is essential in any kind of disease. Prepare your body for the fight. There is a website with ‘Nutrition Therapy for Multiple Myeloma’ http://www.cancercenter.com/multiple-myeloma/nutritional-therapy.cfm
They have some nice recipes:)
If I could help somehow, let me know. I could send you some kielbasa if you like it;)
I keep my finger crossed for 21st of december.
Kisses,
Anna
Borodin…like the russian musician…
The chances do not exist
everything is connected of a way that we can’t understand
I can imagine you listening his polovetsian dance…your body relaxed…closed eyes…and your beautiful soul (the soul is always beautiful) rising (like the sun “invictus”) towards what you have always been looking for…
…the infinite that you are…
I greet the place within each of us where Divinity dwells, and where you and me are One
NAMASTE
Dear Lisa, my silence! as prayer, trust, hope, hope in the hands of doctors who are accompanying you on this journey with you will certainly be successful, they know the references, the competence of each, since the illness that you apply the injections, or affection of those around him and those like me who are distant, but with confidence that everything will be certo.Nós doctors have great responsibilities, for the trust and total surrender of one patient is as important as our dedicação.Então darling following his road without looking back, as the waters of a river run, run and eventually flows into the sea, the infinite, there is the answer final.Querida do what you do that on 21/12/09, will be a single chain of trust, Go, go, open the chest and heart full of esperança.abraços PhD Luzimar, Brazil ..
dear Lisa,
please excuse my poor english and more especially because i write this in a hurry.
i totally agree with you about the money problems that cancer’s sufferers can experiment everyday, especially when they are self-employers like you or whatever else they do. It’s a big SHAME from the government and all structures, and the problem is not only in Canada.
We, my boyfriend and i, are living in France.
My boyfriend has “contracted” lung cancer since 6 months. He has a regular job. But if we weren’t together, or if he didn’t have a family, at this time he ‘d live IN THE STREET because social security doesn’t complete his salary totally. He receives at least 40% of the monthly money he earns normally. So it’s not enough to pay charges and buy food or anything… But, hopefully, he did subscribe to something similar to health insurance, and we’re waiting for money that he must have received since the beginnig of the illness, but it’s seems that the process is very long to start… Such a shame.
So, insurances are highly recommended, i confirm.
only good point : here health cares and treatments for cancer are totally FREE for the patient. yes, it’s true.
but you have to be employed, if not you become ill, treated, but with no home and nothing to eat. and yes it’s possible.
so we were a little stressed lately. and doctors said cancer don’t need stress or anger.
i think society helps cancer to grow.
hope it will be better for you in this way
take care of you
Hélène
I agree with Bernie’s idea, I would like to help you this way, too if you allow!
I’m glad you wrote again
Hair is just hair
like to know that you’re angry, and still is preparing for the Big Day.
I will be thinking of you, as I do every day, when I look forward to reading your blog
if you need a seed hair, can get my.
I totally agree with you all, charitable organizations and foundations, is a very profitable trade. Simply Ms. Lisa Ray should be asked to arrange the money to pay for treatment. There is a rich country, where all the developed and the people doing it. Lisa just ask, organize, and turning to the people living in developed countries like USA, Europe, Russia, China and India. We must do more advertising. You just need to organize the collection in rich countries. And use his popularity. Just ask Lisa and for itself.
Полностью с вами всеми соглашусь, благотворительность и фонды это очень прибыльная коммерция. Просто госпоже Лизе Рей нужно попросить организовать сборы денег на лечение. Есть богатые страны, где это всё развито и люди занимаются этим. Лизе просто надо попросить и организовать и обратиться к людям , живущие в развитых стран например США , Европа , Россия , Китай , Индия. Надо сделать большую рекламу. Просто нужно организовать денежные сборы в богатых странах. И использовать свою популярность . Нужно просто попросить Лизе самой и для себя.
Just Lisa Ray does not use his popularity. could be a lot of time to organize and collect money. Lisa Ray catfish should publicly appeal to the people.
Просто Лиза Рэй не использовать свою популярность. Нужно было это сделать давно. Чтобы организовать и собрать деньги. Лиза Рэй сом должны публично обратиться к людям.
Good to hear from you, Lisa!
This morning, we folks here uptown had a chance to watch the Olympic Torch relay arrive here before it headed south to Toronto. It was a lovely moment in the cold hours of the morning.
Just read your sharing. I was wondering, do you get to see our email address of those who post here in your blog? I hope you could write or reply to us. I like the idea as suggested by some good well wishers here in the above posts whereby we can make a donation directly to you. Often, I had thought of dropping a basket of fruits at your door, but I don’t know here you live! You’re in Etobicoke, thats all I know. Your Dad is right in giving you pomogranade, religiously everyday! Out here, some of the local groceries sell exotic fruits at half the price than the larger grocery chains. I’ll like to get you bushels of this fruit as well as papaya.
Lisa, I heard the BMO sell critical illness insurance, but that BMO do selective marketing like advertising it on shopping channel at odd hours (very late) in the night and for a limited time period offer only to people who call to that displayed number. Lisa, you’re so young and so capable of doing so much good. I hope and pray that you will get an offer as a freelance journalist. That would be awesome because your are that material.
You keep strong on Dec 21st and may your continue to be surrounded by loving people who will stand by your side throughout your journey. God bless you always.
Love and take care.
JennyK in TO.
Buen Dia LISA !! !! !!
GIVES ME AN IMMENSE HAPPINESS TO KNOW OF YOU =D

my dear lisa
No matter what happens, you are the most beautiful!
please ,Please be assured yourself that you are special.
When you still have your heart, love, breath, there’s no problem with your hair. Now it’s gone. But after your recovery, it will be back. I remember all the hairstyles you had in ” I can’t think straight”. I believe in near future, your hair will caught thousands of eyes again.
December 21st is coming and I hope it will bring you big hope after things have done.
Love,
totally agree!!!
I would be here too.
I hope I could share what is happening there hon, hair falling, light precipitation. But it’s so great and absolutely worth to admire such a brave woman.
My dear Lisa Ray!!!
Best of luck to you. Best of luck to your treatment.
Thanks God.
Thanks Bobcat.
Thanks to your Dad.
Thanks to fellow yellow diarist.

Wonderful blog Lisa! Humorous, intelligent and inspiring all wrapped up in this blog. Thank you for sharing. Glad Bobcat is back home with you, and may your Christmas be a special one this year.
I refuse to call 21st your big day babe (will be another extremely challenging day). Your big day for me will be the day that you get hitched to your sweetheart, or the day your potential zygote becomes a hairy reality, whichever comes first.
La la la la la?? Christmas carol maybe? One day I hope we can all sing together. Oh Billy goat, I am getting a visual on you charging at your tv when CI insurance ad comes on. 🙂 Let us know if you need more heads, we can all butt in unison.
And thank you looking out for us by alerting us to CI insurance, am pretty sure it comes with a ton of fine print. Love you sweetum.
Dear,lisa
I agree with marie. I will help financially and so on,if you want.
Please,tell me for the way your help.
Thank and Love

funny…last time i was listening to Borodin’s Polovatsian dances….I was thinking of you, Lisa ray. I thought of suggesting it but did not.
listen to the Polovatsian dances section of the Opera prince Igor.
07 Act One No.12 Polovtsian Dances and Chorus – Uletaj na kryl’jach vetra
08 Act One No.12 Polovtsian Dances and Chorus – Slavoj dedam raven chan nas
i dedicate both of these acts to you.
Hi Lisa,
All the best for your big day…You will allright soon, so many people are wishing this on christmas, it will be easy for santa to fullfill all the wishes just by making you healthy again..
We all love you sweetheart…
Hey Bobcat…you are the only one around her to show all the Love so give your best..
Take care
Love
Ruby
Hi Lisa,

It now remains to wait for the decision and the response of Lisa Ray. You can collect a decent amount of more than 24 000 Canadian dollars. It is not money. This is just to go to the store, but not cured.
Теперь остается только ждать решения и ответа Лиза Рэй. Вы можете собрать достойную сумму более 24 000 канадских долларов. Это не деньги. Это просто пойти в магазин, но не вылечиться.
And in general, it should participate boyfriend Lisa Ray. As a man he must in any difficult situation to help and participate in all, more than a catfish Lisa Ray. And in general, where the help of men, and where are they?
А в общем, он должен участвовать другой Лиза Рэй. Как человек, он должен в любой сложной ситуации, чтобы помочь и участие во всех, более чем сома Лиза Рэй. И вообще, где помощь мужчин, и где они?
Hi lisa

Hey Lisa,

about your hair,as along as you are in battle against this enemy ,be ready to lose some soliders ( hair) temporary till inshallah you win ,i hope you laugh since it seems my examples always come from my situation here in middle east lol.as we say ,human is a son of of his environment.

Thanks a lot for everything.

Wispy wizardress, you amaze me. Thinking of you in Australia.
Ok, first, Lisa I hope you feel good today!!! 😉 second,
THANKS XIMENA!!! that was a great video of the song and captures the whole point, hope, make things happen!!! and third, today we are going to the Serengeti (Tanzania), one of the most beautiful places in the world. No complains about Fjords in Norway, but this is more of my thing 😉
The Serengeti National Park is one of the most celebrated wildlife reserves in the world. This phenomenal National Park, created to preserve the path of the world’s largest migration circuit, covers nearly 15,000 square kilometres.
The name Serengeti comes from the Maasai name meaning ‘endless plains’. This land is justifiably famous for its huge concentrations of wildlife, especially the big cats, as well as being the stomping ground of the Great Migration, a massive accumulation of 1.5 million wildebeest, 200,000 zebras and 350,000 gazelles stretching their legs over 1,200 miles in an annual race to find enough water and green grass for their survival.
Serengeti is broadly divided into three distinct areas, the Seronera Valley and Seronera River, the Western Corridor and the Northern Lobo area that extends northwards through the Lamai Wedge to the Maasai Mara.
It is difficult to describe the Serengeti in a few words, except to say that it has a certain feeling to it – a feeling of serenity and calm, almost like a huge zen garden. In contrast, nearby Ngorongoro Crater feels more like a wildlife playground, even its name sounds comical, but the Serengeti is reverent and mystical. The vast panoramas and the gentle curves of the land inspire both awe and serenity. One of the most important qualities of the Serengeti is that is still offers us a view of what the world was like at the dawn of time, when volcanoes still flowed across the landscape, and man took his first steps in Olduvai Gorge onto the Serengeti plains.
Everything is still there, just as it was, as close to a pure ecosystem as you can find anywhere. One of the most amazing things about the Serengeti is that it has co-evolved its ecosystem alongside man, for more than 3.5 million years. Thus, man has always been a natural part of the Serengeti, both in the form of the Maasai people,These native peoples have had no more or less influence on the ecosystem than the great herds of wildebeest that migrate through like a massive lawn mower, or the thousands of elephants that regularly move whole forests across the landscape, with their sloppy eating habits – such as eating one tree while sitting on two others.
When you visit the Serengeti, you feel as if you have returned in time. No where else on Earth does the spectacle of wildlife match that of the Serengeti ecosystem. Perhaps because the Serengeti has remained so unchanged over time, very few visitors remain unchanged after experiencing it.
It’s difficult to describe the scale of things out here. Huge wide open plains that go on for mile after mile, then bush and forested areas that just keep on going. you can see herds of wilderbeast running across the plain, zebra all over the place, gazelles, hyena, jackels, hippos.
It’s really difficult to describe the Serengeti in words and do it justice.
P.D. Just have to remember that anyone going to the loo after dark is potentially supper for the animals in the area 😉 LOL (if you get the chance to stay in tents camps)
By the way, do we have something to do on 21st??? uhmmmmm…..LOL……keep strong minded Lisa. I’m sure bobcat knows the worth of a “boldy” LOL 😉
And please where we can send a few pennies :P, seriously we can help you…
Dear Lisa
Reading your article, let me feel your strong back is so fragile soul, when this happens, I know you are afraid of, confidence in the gradually declining, but I know that you are strong, good people. Your efforts to let people around rest assured that you have always to show them a smile, though perhaps hidden behind a smile to your fear of loneliness and hopelessness, do you laugh at his own language of forms to display your situation, I know you are suffering, But please, you must adhere to, convinced that faith can overcome everything. Buddha once said, “There is no Bodhi tree, mirror nor stand, originally no one objects,
Where can the dust alight “all the pain and happiness is superficial, and you just see through, and everything will disappear. Please do not narcissistic self-Ai, God is fair, how much pain you will also experience how much happiness you have, and you do not go it alone, you do not know the person, there is a lot of people praying for you silently, they use a variety of ways, ways I hope you can be healthy and happy, you must again pull ourselves together and come up with your self-confidence and charm, with your enemy, this world is itself a law of the jungle, bullying and fearing evil in the world, you say is not it? We will support you, and you will never stand
Together, you will be the world’s most well-being of the greatest blessings of people, be sure to firmly believe that “faith can overcome everything.” Said so much, I wonder if you can not see, but I believe that my blessings you will receive at Christmas around the corner, I handed him my most sincere wishes, “like all the luck, happiness, love , healthy, happy are accompanied by you, dear Lisa, Merry Christmas! ”
kong
Yes, Lisa. Please set up an account. In addition, we (the many fans and people who have had privilege to work with you) could organize a fund-raiser/benefit…
Keep strong, it’s good to know you’re surrounded by lots of love. I’ll be thinking of you this winter solstice…
Love and light,
Anita
Hey Lisa…
I think you should go back to the government office…only this time take Hanan with you. I double-dog-dare-anyone! to say no to her. I’m not sure it can be done.
Anyway, light, love and peace to you and your family.
Dear Lisa,
Thank you for your update.
Christmas and New Year will come, I wish you Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
SEE YOU NEXT YEAR!:)
And, I think this winter solstice should be the most important one I’ve ever experienced since my birth.
Love you!

Lisa, dear
Thousands of people around the world are thinking of you and praying for you!! from India to Australia and Japan, from Mexico to Russia…sending to you their encouragement, happiness, warmth and their faith into you!
WE LOVE YOU!!!
(And we love you no matter whether you have a hair or not! ;)) You rock our world. Go, girl, we believe in you 🙂

Live Long and strong !!! your operation reboot deserves a salute !!! play hard,live is a serious business.never give up.i hope against hope that you will come out of this mm syndrome that is haunting many of the fans.
p.s stay away from bad medicine
Hey Lisa, how are you today? I hope well you little warrior you. Your doing great and hang in there kiddo– My aunt (75yrs) with the Lung Cancer is doing amazing–it’ll be 3yrs Jan since she was first diagnosed with stage 4. I will say her treatments knock her on her ass for a couple of weeks for sure, but amazingly–Like your “Lawn” metaphor–she bounces back again. Facing an illness so unpredictable as cancer must bring about a multitude of emotions every day. Pretty intense ones I’m sure–But I bet some amazing things along with the usual fear factor–Ones for deep appreciation–and from what I see and hear of you–you most certaily have a lot to be appreciative of. I love people who REALLY appreciate life–your very special. I will leave you with this last quote I got actually from a soap opera charactor who has cancer said to his lover–“I’m actually thankful I got Cancer because It changed me forever to make me look at life so differenly, and to make me love and appreciate all that I have so much more–especially my love for you.” Cancer may be perhaps your Savior in many ways as well as your advisary. I always believed that those who suffered the deepest pain have the most character. One’s greatest pain may very well be their greatest Gain!! All the best to You and Happy Holidays!! Write us a story will you–along with your blog to further spread around your talent!! Sincerely, Carolyn from NY
Lena! Thanks for “Half-Ovetsky dancings”. I haven’t found them.
And for Russia. Very much it would be desirable, that Liza knew that Russia
Too from it.

Hi Lisa,
I first saw you on the movie – Bollywood/Hollywood and me and my friends totally loved the show. We liked your character from the movie especially. I managed to get a copy of the DVD when it was available…
Somehow I just came across your blog today and I was devastated when I read about you battling MM. I aplaud you on the courage to start this blog and share with all of us on your experience battling thru this illness.
Continue to fight and to stay strong and postive. We will be praying and surporting you all the way. All the best for what’s coming up on the 21st!!
Take good care and keep updating this blog ya … All the best!! Sincerely from Rose (Singapore)
Hi Lisa!
Thanks for your blog.
Indeed, on December the 21st, it will be “Borodin”, your big day!
Everything will be ok.
Bobcat, your dad and everyone who loves you will be with you in thoughts.
And after that, it will be Christmas!! Some moments to spend with your family, only for sharing and laughing!
Kisses from France.
Sylvie PARIS.
PS: Paris is so beautiful with this snow.
I always have a thought for you here, in Paris.
Dear Lisa,
I’ve just seen for the first time some of your films and have loved them. I’ve been trying to find more about you and I have been shocked to find out you are undergoing cancer.
I’m sorry my English is not very fluent but I hope you can understand all the support I want to send you.
When reading your blog I have seen once more how important it is to take medical advise in the right time. My mother died of cancer when I was a teenager just because she didn’t want to visit a doctor to look at her menstrual disorders. I hope your blog will encourage a lot of your fans to take more care of body messages from now on.
I have also realized how lucky I am to live in a country like Spain where, though we are not so ahead in cancer treatments, our health system includes almost every health treatment for free. I really don’t understand how is it possible that the economically strongest countries in the world do not take care of all their citizens as they deserve.
I’ll go on reading your chronicles and praying for your full recovery.
Kisses,
mc
PS. My two babies (Java and Linux) send you their energy too, stamping their paws all around the keyboard while writing this message (perhaps I have forgotten to delete some of the letters they have written to you and Bobcat)
Hi Lisa,
Thankyou for your latest blog. You never cease to inspire me with your honesty, humour and courage.
Those health insurers absolutely stink… I don’t understand the Canadian health system (I’m currently checking if the Australian health system is more just!) but Cancer is pretty common these days and to knock someone back cos its in your family after making contributions is pathetic… I personally would track down a really good lawyer to see if they could have the decision reviewed…But l know you have other important things on your plate at the moment.
Bernies idea is excellent and l would like to contribute as well… if nothing is set up l’m just going to send money to Lisa Ray c/o Canada lol. Seriously I think fans would feel honoured to help in this small way.
You have taught me so many life lessons that l cannot begin to thankyou enough.
You are in my thoughts and my prayers for the 21st Dec.
Love You
lisa ray:I love you,i hope you will be well soon,
fighting! fighting!
you are a strong woman!
Guys, go check out Shamim’s facebook page. Look at our darling in behind the scenes footage. oo la la. She is gorgeous and so full of life. Ufff, heart skipping a beat. 😉
Hello, beautiful girl!
I’m brazilian and I don’t know English very well, so I’m sorry if I make some mistakes, probably I will make many!
I’m here because I had just “discovered” you while I was watching a movie, about three days ago, and sorry, but I have to say…I think I’m completely in love by you. At first I just thought that you was just another good and beautiful actress. But I discovered that you are more, much more, you are a gorgeous, intelligent, funny, and strong woman! I liked the movie a lot so I started to research about the movie, and the movie took me to you, and you took me here saying this embarrassing things.
God bless the internet…(smile)…
I just would like to say that you seems to be an AMAZING human being and that there are many people around the world thinking about you now, and wishing you the best…I am among this people…(smile)…
Keep smiling, you have a wonderful smile…for sure you are an illuminated person, in many ways…
Thank you for this blog!
(sorry about the mistakes!)
I love Lisa too.
เอาใจช่วยค่ะ ขอให้หายป่วยเร็ว ๆ สู้ๆๆๆ
i like… i like
the white cells floating through the words in ur blog.
Dear Lisa,
I am still here praying for you……in the darkness we all share the pain of loss and empitness that cannot be filled and the fire that cannot be quenched.
Be still, and Know that you are not alone with all the warriors that have gone before……..they will protect you. I know you have a great one by your side, somehow my dad is watching over you.
I am here if you ever need a friend, who has sat and watched someone she loved dearly fight the battle of his life with MM. I truly want you to be well so that hope can shine again.
Never lose hope……………he never did !
Just a short note about the Canadian health system.
Everything is covered and it does not cost a cent. You can have a baby, heart surgery, diabetic treatments etc. all free, however, extraordinary treatment such as stem cell implants and other such treatments are not covered by the government health scheme.
It is the “stem cell implants and other such treatments” that initially made me ask Lisa to open an account so that we can contribute – because these treatments are bloody expensive.
Get lots of sleep Lisa and please let us help.
Lisa Good Luck 😉 Everything will be ok 🙂
Wow, You are admirable !!!!
You are my hero jeje… it’s true !!!!!!
Kisses for you… many-many-many…..
Y muchos Abrazos tambien 🙂

Hello honey sweatheart,
Lisa, dear, since sunday last week I can’t stop to think about you. You are a great, especial woman! Great woman! on 13 december I fall in love with you.
Just one thing I read today make me unhappy.
Lisa, I work for Agel Enterprises 1,5 years already. This company makes a really good products for “healthy life”.
Please take a look at http://www.agel.com
Especially 2 products: UMI and EXO.
This is not an advertisement.
I really like you. My heart is going to laugh every time I look at you picture.
I wish to meet you soon and see your smile.
I will pray to God for your health.
With love Anna.
Dear Lisa,
I’ve read in several messages that you are an angel that brings light to our lives. I think they are right.
After knowing about your illness the shade I have been living for the last years has turned into light. I left health research because of the bad results I obtained with my experiments. Now I see how usefull I can be to humanity if I go on with my research instead of hiding and looking somewhere else. (When you work in basic science sometimes you miss the big possibilities of your work).
Thank you for opening my eyes and I hope you get back all the energy you are transmiting your supporters.
I’ll pray for you on the 21st dec.
C
PS. You will have a line in the aknowledges of my PhD as your light has been able to wake me up from my hopelessness.
Dear Lisa,
How’s your day? Hope the treatment goes well. It’s snowing! I like it. Be good and you’ll be rewarded. So the Santa say. 🙂
Love
Sue
I’m here every single day and I just love to read everything you write… And also watch all the interviews that you give.
You are an example for anyone here. I’m sure of this… I have so much respect for you and consideration that’s almost unbelievable. Really, you have a BIG place in my heart lady hahahaha
Se cuida meu anjo… Você é muito importante pra muita gente 😉
Take care my angel… You are very important for a lot of people 😉
Kisses from Brasillllllll
Came across your blog by happenstance and just wanted to say that I think you write beautifully. I took a couple hours and read all the entries from the beginning. I even turned off my music so I could really focus and absorb all the words.
I also wanted to say that I loved “I Can’t Even Think Straight” and thought you were brilliant in it.

Hi Lisa,
I’m glad losing your hair gives you relief, a sense of accomplishment. Everyone responds to treatments differently, but if you didn’t lose your hair, you would definitly think something wasn’t working. Sometimes I wonder if Farrah Fawcett had made different choices (rather than going to Germany) maybe she would still be with us today. The randomness of this disease really makes no sense. They say 1 in 4 women will get breast cancer. I have three sisters and always wonder which one of us will get it. We grew up on the beach. Barefoot and half naked all the time, back when sunscreen wasn’t really thought about. Who will get skin cancer…then there are my parents, who were heavy smokers when we were younger. Most people who get lung cancer, never even smoked.Both my parents have had strokes. My father (80) has been in a nursing home for 12 years now. My mother (71) recovered from her stroke completely but has since been diagnosed with dimentia. Ain’t life a bitch. Again, that leaves me wondering about my fate. I am 45, divorced and have one son, Reno (13).
You have been a real trooper, an inspiration to a lot of people, and soon you will have your reward. You have a lot of love on your side, I’m sure you can feel it. Best of luck on the 21st. Keep us posted!! Jodi

~The pathology of perfection~
from the inhaling of
our first breath
so much is placed
on the tiny fragile shoulders
of a delicate child
the hopes and dreams of
parents
grand parents
sometimes extended family
oft times
an entire race or ethnic culture
to be….
not who we are
or even will become,
but to be
the fulfillment of those
hopes and dreams
that were not their own
we are then
reared and groomed
to be anything but
ordinary
and encouraged
sometimes challenged
oft times bullied
to be everything
favorably beyond normal
hopes and dreams
morph into
expectations
that often broke
no compromise
there is no such thing as
2nd place or
good enough
perfection
is now the expectation and
we will nearly
kill ourselves and others
trying to obtain
the unattainable
we live in a deluded world
blind to the fallibility of
what we are
by our very nature,
the very being
we are birthed into
human,
humanity,
mortal,
mortality
and in our ambition
and striving for
perfection
we become
unreasonable
unforgiving
of ourselves and others
compassion bleeds out
and all that is left
is the suffering of
non-acceptance
unwilling to
live with
deal with
the reality that we are
wonderfully and fearfully
human
prone to poor judgment
mistakes and errors
as well as
gentleness
compassion
love
honor
and respect
we are equally capable of
the greatest atrocities
of destruction
and the most marvelous gifts
of creation
but those of us
who have not accepted
our humble humanness
continue to be trapped
in the labyrinth of striving
toward an unattainable goal
and those of us
who have accepted
our humble humanness
have been freed from
the pathology of perfection
and strive not for
the perfection of accomplishment
but rather
the perfection of love
and in that love
there is no fear
of who we are
which is
wonderfully
fearfully
merely
human
and the greatest
accomplishment
we can leave behind
is the encouragement
to be
12.19.2009
Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiii,
Have a great ‘bada din’…. which is just one of those upcoming happier & bigger days …
But can anyone tell me what this ‘416’ meant….I am just clueless !!!!!!
We will catch you after your first bada din of this year may be & a whole lot to come next in 2010…. n ohh m sending Mr. Santa to your place to fulfill your wishlist !!
nJOYYYYYYYYYYYY with Bobcat this Christmass….. 😉
🙂
you are in my prayers
i just want that you read this… i hope you could read it in spanish. but you can read it in english too.
i hope you like it.
sometimes, there is no words to tell, no looks to give, just a little hug to feel you better.
El miedo (Fear) – Pablo Neruda
Todos me piden que dé saltos,
que tonifique y que futbolée,
que corra, que nade y que vuele.
Muy bien./
Everyone is after me to jump through hoops
whoop it up, play football,
rush about, even go swimming and flying.
Fair enough.
Todos me aconsejan reposo,
todos me destinan doctores,
mirándome de cierta manera.
Qué pasa?/
Everyone is after me to take it easy.
They all make doctors’ appointments for me,
eyeing me in that quizzical way.
What is going on?
Todos me aconsejan que viaje,
que entre y que salga, que no viaje,
que me muera y que no me muera.
No importa./
Everyone is after me to take a trip,
to come in, to leave, not to travel,
to die and, alternatively, not to die.
It does not matter
Todos ven las dificultades
de mis vísceras sorprendidas
por radio terribles retratos.
No estoy de acuerdo./
Everyone is spotting oddnesses
in my innards, suddenly shocked
by radio-awful diagrams.
I do not agree
Todos pican mi poesía
con invencibles tenedores
buscando, sin duda, una mosca,
Tengo miedo./
Everyone is picking at my poetry
with their relentless knives and forks,
trying, no doubt, to find a fly.
I am afraid.
Tengo miedo de todo el mundo,
del agua fría, de la muerte.
Soy como todos los mortales,
inaplazable./
I am afraid of the whole world,
afraid of cold water, afraid of death.
I am as all mortals are,
unable to be comforted.
Por eso en estos cortos días
no voy a tomarlos en cuenta,
voy a abrirme y voy a encerrarme
con mi más pérfido enemigo,
Pablo Neruda./
And so, in these brief, passing days,
I shall not take them into account.
I shall open up and closet myself
with my most treacherous enemy,
Pablo Neruda
Dear Lisa,
I’ve been reading your blogs for a while now.
I love them piece by piece.
The first time I saw one of your movies,
it was : I can’t think straight.. And that was
after I heard you had cancer.
I loved that movie, and so did my girlfriend.
It shows that it isn’t easy to be gay,
and that’s right. Because people always say
that it’s okay, today. But, it isn’t, is it?
People stair at you when you hold hands,
and you can’t tell your dad because he’s the
conservative one.
Though, I would love to hold hands with my
girlfriend, even in the middle of the street,
I can’t anymore. I can’t really walk a lot.
I’m tired all the time because the chemo
is killing my imune-system.
But that’s over now. Because:
today the doctor said the chemo isn’t working,
and it’s better to stop. There is nothing
we can do anymore, but wait.
It is Ironic, isn’t it? I’m waiting to die.
At this time I can’t see very good,
I lost a breast, and
my longs and liver have been cut in
for so many times. And still I’m not healing?
I’m crying because I wasn’t scared in the beginning,
but now I am. I want to die, but I don’t want to leave
my girl and my parents alone. I don’t want to give my
sisters this pain. I don’t know where I’m gonna go..
I hope you’ll heal,
because you helped me a lot in this struggle.
And even though the struggle is over,
A lot of other people in the world have
the same disease; cancer; and they probably
get help from you too.
So please, keep on fighting and keep on writing about it.
Greets, and a lot of thanks,
Anneleen.
Take care of yourself,Lisa
we all love you.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year~~~
Dear Lisa,
about three weeks ago it was the first time I saw one of your films (sorry, it took so long). Then I wanted to know more about the talented and inspiring actress. I got to this webpage and was shocked with the news and red everything you wrote. I was impressed by the strengths and power you started to write.
Tomorrow is Monday, the 21st. Try to fight through this. You’re so strong. Please, please, don’t give up. My mom hat to go through a period like this. The doctors said it’s incurable. It took a year of fighting and everything that comes with it. Today, she is fine and so you will be.
I’ll think of you.
Caline
Dear Anneleen,
Your words are heartbreaking!
God bless you!
Don’t give up!
Use each moment for being with your girlfriend and your family.
With love
Kati
I don’t have Christmas list but I have a simple note this year.
It’s not for myself but for others
Now I have to add one
Special mention that is
If I there will be an exchange gift/ wish
I’m willing to
For I know the wish I ask
Is worth the gift I’m giving up
Merry Christmas!!!
For someone very special
Keep the faith:-)
and tommorrow is 21st…best luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!love you
21st, ^^^
you will be alright, ’cause you are special!
Hiya Lisa,
One more day and it’s BIG DAY! Best of luck and we’ll be thinking about you! Here something silly for a laugh. Hope you enjoy it!!
Take care love! Regards Nicolle
Dear Lisa,
How are you today?
Tomorrow you will get new energy. It’s your own energy (own stem cells) coming from all the beautiful things you have done in your life. In 2010 full recovery!I hope you will make some new movies soon.
When you feel lonely and scared remember that we are here with you. All your yellow friends from all around the world are praying for you. In the most scary moment imagine that we are there keeping your hands and keep saying ‘everything will be fine’.
BTW you look beautiful with or without hair. It’s your internal energy and your soul which makes you so beautiful.
Keep laughing, it makes your immune system stronger.

My dear Lisa!
Tomorrow is your Big Day, but we all feel it like ours even if in a different way.
Tomorrow will be the beginning of your re-birth, the start of your future life.
It is said that the birth of the hardest part of the life of a human being.
Though days will come but you will go through them successfully with your strong soul.
If you feel yourself weak, hopeless and scared and you cry, always remember you are not alone! Not for a single moment!
You are surrounded by the unconditional love of your Dad, your Bobcat, your friends and your fans.
All your loyal yellow diarists and thousands of fans from every corner of the world will accompany you, be with you at your hospital bed in spirit, hold your hand in silence, give you strength through the prayers and finally everything will be fine.
You are very precious for all of us.
We are waiting for your return:-)
Good luck to you for your Borodin!
And never forget:
“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.”
With love and much respect to your brave spirit

lisa,
your fans all over the world are praying for you. hope you all the best and recover soon.
we all love you.
December 20th,2009…….At Work!!!!!!! can you imagine but yes Im here because the hospitalized ones need me here today to draw blood…..aaaahhhhhhh!!!!!! but I am glad to be of service . So whilst their tests are running on machinery thats humming away their own tunes as tests are being analysed,I can write to my VIRTUOUS ONE, my BRAVE ONE ,THE ROCK!!!!!
We sing along with you today…Oh come all ye FAITHFUL,Joyfull and TRIUMPHANT… Yes , the key,operative word being..TRIUMPHANT…. as on the 21st Dec, you will triumph ….conquering those bastards( Plasma cells) that invaded and near destroyed her!!!!!!!!!
My Darling, do not be offended by the term “THE ROCK” but as Ive said before,you transcend what the Rock of Gibraltar means. So to you and my fellow bloggers, here is a very brief history of the rock and you can all appreciate why I use this term in comparison to you LISA……
The Rock of Gibraltar was created during the Jurassic period some 200 million years ago and forms part of thr Betic Cordillera, a mountain range that dominates south-eastern Iberia. It was used as a fortress and has survived many wars and in February 1997, it was revealed that the British had a secret plan called operation Tracer to conceal service men in its tunnels beneath the Rock in case the Germans captured it… still to this day , warring over this wonder of the world …BUT IT STANDS FIRM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And so, despite long sieges, there seemed nothing that can destroy it…( are we getting the picture now?), its history has inspired the saying” Solid as the Rock of Gibraltar” and to this day is used th describe a person (LISA RANI RAY) or situation THAT CANNOT BE OVERCOME OR FAIL!!!!!!!!! I rest my case…..LOL…..Great is it not…… Thats why my dear, you will triumph, the SCT will not fail and as always you will overcome this battle………….AMEN!
For those who are interested in all the detailed history of The Rock of Gibraltar,, go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_of_Gibraltar
Thanks for your patience and keep up th good spirits. To Mr Salil, saab, God Bless You for your unwavering support to our RANI…… All Will Be Well soon !
All my love…….Rosemarie Ramnarine ( Trinidad)

Dear Lisa…
What can I say? The other yellow Diarists have said all important one!
To you, Lisa, tomorrow for everything loves, all the best. The best wishes and a lot of strength.
Our thoughts are with you and our prayers.
We love you..all.
Never stop fighting…You may never forget this.
In Germany …we say …toi,toi,toi….:)
Many Hugs..
Dear Lisa-
Wishing you all the best tomorrow. Keep up the great spirit and attitude you have. It has seen you this far and will take you further. And thank you for the heads up on the insurance. Here in the States we just assume your healthcare is paid for in Canada… I will now look into my coverage more deeply.
When you are ready to escape the cold winter (I still can’t believe I put up with it in Niagara), come to south east Florida for some yellow sun and recharge. You and Bobcat are welcome to stay at my place on your own… It’s quiet and you can be left alone together. Its the one Christmas gift I can easily give. Seriously. You are welcome to come.
All the best to you tomorrow and for Christmas…
Lisa
All the strenght of our minds is with you, we love you and all of us think of you, you’re not alone in this fight, we are all with you!
Lisa
Thank you for the last two blogs
Will be thinking of you tomorrow and send all the positive i can muster and just alot of sincere love your way.
love

To all Fellow Yellow Diarists, Enlightened Friends and Supporters-
There has been such a constant outpouring of love and generosity since I began the Yellow Diaries. As I prepare for the final leg of my treatment for Multiple Myeloma, a lot of you have asked how you can continue to support this journey.
First know that I am grateful for all your open hearted responses already.
Second: please do not illegally download the films into which Shamim, Hanan, Sheetal and I have poured our creative energies. Purchase The World Unseen and I Can’t Think Straight from the Enlightenment website and you will be supporting not just the films we created, but future film projects made with passion and integrity. Without this support, there will be no more. In addition, we the artists collectively cannot sustain ourselves financially if you are watching the fruit of our labour for free. Think about it- its difficult enough to remain true to your vision and passion. Working with Shamim and Hanan has been deeply inspiring and I would like to work with them again and again. I would like to continue to make my living as a actor committed to working on projects which illuminate and provoke. This can only happen if you express your support by buying the films.
Happy Holidays and a Yellow Wish for all-
Love,
Lisa
Habibti,
This is for you.
And, why not? For all the Yellowlists…
“The prayer” – Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli:
Strenght. And peace. You are in the way of healing…
Best wishes, prayers and thoughts,
With all my love,
Ximena.
Remember: think about us. You are not alone. Never…
We are here for you…

I could not draw only your soul . I am sorry because of this.I can see your soul but ı can not show in a picture:-( .Your soul is very clean and well.
The life as a theater stage, sometimes comedies are on display, sometimesdramas is display. now time to laugh for you dear Lisa Ray. All dramas finished…
You going to win this game but How do you fight in scrabble.. you do not left to just a chance. Isnt ıt? Now, For To win this game, not just chance.You need a good dice. Working time my emerald-eyed friend. fight for this difficult game.
to penetrate to the heart of a word, ıt must necessarily come from the heart Lisa. I feel very well and clean feelings for you. The woman is a beautiful marble Lisa. But a loved woman is a monument. A lot of people love you dear Lisa. you are smart enough to know the power of love. Now just believe…..

Bonjour Lisa
Je te souhaite de tout coeur d’aller mieux et surtout de guérir !!!
Je te trouve très forte et très courageuse d’affronter comme tu le fais cette saleté de cancer.
Malgré la maladie tu restes une très belle femme pleine de talents.
Je suis de tout coeur avec toi. Courage Lisa, tu vas y arriver.
Pleins d’encouragements de France.
we pray right now, my all family, I love you, you are amazing, just love you, that’s it, pray till you get well, such an amazing person you are, and you will get well I know this!
🙂 Hello Ms.Ray, I pray that you feel a little bit better every day. I really believe that we learn something from everyone that we meet. The part where you mention the insurance was really an eye opener. I’m an American and I don’t know if we have anything like that here,but I will be looking into it. Your comment about a “White Revolution” was funny [I’m Black]. In closing may you and your love ones have a Merry Christmas.
So I have this idea…
How to help raise money for Lisa’s medical bills…
I’m going to design some “Yellow Diary’s” T-shirts, hoodies, baseball caps that kind of thing.
Put them on a web base shop and all profits go to help Lisa.
What do you think?
Would anyone be interested in buying this kind of stuff?
Not sure how I’d actually get the money to Lisa but I’m guessing I can email Shamim and Hanan to answer that one 🙂
Let me know if you think this is a good idea.
Love and Strength always

There was a Scotsman, an Englishman and Lisa Ray sitting together in a carriage in a train going through Wales. Suddenly the train went through a tunnel and as it was an old style train,there were no lights in the carriages and it went completely dark. Then there was this kissing noise and the sound of a really loud slap. When the train came out of the tunnel, Lisa Ray and the Scotsman were sitting as if nothing had happened and the Englishman had his hand against his face as he had been slapped.
The Englishman was thinking: ‘The Scottish fella must have kissed Lisa Ray and she missed him and slapped me instead.’
Lisa Ray was thinking: ‘The English fella must have tried to kiss me and actually kissed the Scotsman and got slapped for it.’
And the Scotsman was thinking: ‘This is great. The next time the train goes through a tunnel I’ll make that kissing noise and slap that English b**tard again .
get well soon L.
Xx…

Take care n thanks for the nice blog.
Dearestsweetesthottest Lisa,
Sending you lots of love and good vibes on your Big Day tomorrow and all the days following!
I loved reading your blog – it was part A Charlie Brown Christmas (i laughed, i cried) and part A Christmas Story (with the occasional outburst of #@%!!!, and a bit of naught-naughty thrown in for the adults)!
Oh! and also part Xena Warrior Princess A Solstice Carol (with a warrior princess – you, and your trusty sidekick/lover/partner – bobcat, kicking butt AND spreading love throughout the land).
All the best, honey! thinking of you.
xoxoxoxo
almost borodin!!! muc luz mucha fuerza always in your ways.
love always
Lisa, Keep fighting girl. I am rooting for you just like the thousands of people around the globe. I have been a fan of you since your Bombay dyeing days. Used to think you are an angel from heaven. Now, I know you are wild cat from hell. Give those mean cells some serious walloping!! They deserve it mean buggers.
Wishing you the very best.
Hey Lisa,
It s , Suri from Toronto. I am a big fan of a yours, I have watched all your movies and must say you are a super actor.
Its sad to hear what your going thru but I know you will get thru this and so will we all. You are in my prayers.
I did have the opportunity to meet you 4 years ago at Best Buy……at first I didnt recognize you but after a bit I did. I must say you are one of the most beautiful women I have met……and your Canadian EH!!!!!
Tc Girl……let us know about your surgery its today is it not…monday 21 dec.
Love –suri
Dear Gems,
I think it is a good idea, let Shamim and Hanan know about it, they can arrange the official part or rather send the money to Lisa through Enlightenment production.
I will definitely buy it!
My dear Lisa!
I wish you good luck with all my love for today!
I know the upcoming days and the weeks of isolation will be the most difficult part of your treatment, but please always remember, we are all with you sending yellow energy continously.
Thinking of you everyday!
Take care of yourself, Yellow Princess!
With hugs and love
Kati (fromHungary)
Alright Pretty Girl! Today’s the big day! (deep breaths)
Today I wish you every bit of luck there is in the world,
All the love that one person can possibly contain,
The strength of every warrior,
And the power to kick cancer’s bootay!
I believe in miracles big and small, and I believe you will be your own miracle. Seeing as you are miraculous in everything that you do!
So with a courageous heart, a strong will, and all my love and prayers- Let’s take on today.
Hoping all goes perfectly, Fighting as always,
Ashton

Hey Gems,
Fab idea… I’d love to contribute creatives for a t-shirt design about the “YellowChat”….! A dictionary that’s set to carve its own niche!
…as in, pick up words with either a suffix or prefix of the word Yellow (basis all that has appeared on TYD) and create amusing connotations for them (all in light-hearted and clean humour!)
Lemme know how this sounds! 🙂
Its time to take the Yellolution to the next level! Let it in the true sense, be the Yellolution she never knew she started!
All this… only LR permitting, ofcourse!
Me….
Hey everybody,
here is the page where you can spend some money for Lisa.
http://pmhf3.akaraisin.com/Pledge/Participant/Home.aspx?seid=2489&pid=172578&mid=9
I did it right now.
I think the idea with T-Shirts and Caps is good. Because we can get much money for people who has cancer and try to give them new life.
You can contoct me on my E-Mail: annaagel@mail.ru
Thanks that you all are praing for Lisa.
Anna
HELLO MY EMERALD-EYED !!!!
I do much dreaming. When this is the first time I’ve seen in my dreams.you were in hospital. I introduce myself to you. I said my name the letters one by one. You said : “MMMm… It has been a good my learning.” You wanted a help from me. And I helped to you. You try to give me tip with white napkins. I did not take and I was little sad because of for you think to give tip to me.
“White napkins” this is good new Lisa. Do not worry. White and clean napkin is better and health indicate dear my friend. … Trust me… my sweetheart.
with all my heart next to you my emerald_ eyed. I am waiting your good news. you do not leave in very curious to me my beatiful friend. All my prays with you ….

You know, God always gives us trials. He gives them because He loves us…And He gives only those trials wich we can go throught. And you will go through them. Really will..but it must takes a little time. Only smile :))
And…shot hairstyle is in vogue now. I also have it and we are cool.
Lisa,
GOOD LUCK for today!
Powodzenia!
best wishes from Frankfurt
Good idea Gems…just do it ….with BIG support
Dear Lisa, I think everyone with a sense of dignity is not to buy or make copies of works that we get all the right, both with financial copyright, you’re sure to make that call, and many can be concientizar from what admittedly, I myself have not bought your movies, but I watched the movie, not here in Brazil, but in USA.mas once you get here in Brazil can be sure I will buy, and enough to help your campaign and why it is a beautiful movie, where Shamim and Hanna, deserve my PERABENS, all for voices that not only they but a team of actors and those who remain from behind the chambers, in order that all partipipam a major operation as essa.È like my work of medical surgery, not just me but a whole team that involves a job as anyone else, they deserve respect and dedication, congratulations for your reprimand guarantee that served for many people … and now I wish that Dr. your 21 days that have passed seje very important in your life that you one of the lever to a new stage of vida.coragem girl you are a woman of noble race, has the nobility in the spirit, will not look at traz.BOA LUCK! ! Hugs PhD Luzimar – Brazil
Cool cool. Can you send me some examples?

Thank you, Lisa, for your inspiration. May 2010 bring with it many joys for you!
Dear Lisa,
Here’s wishing you recovery, good (better 🙂 health and happiness in the years ahead….. there’s no greater power then the will to survive…hang on…. too many love you 🙂

nerver stop fighting, you will survive and you have a fan club here we support and lov you
Ringing in the New Year watching Bollywood Hollywood – and thinking positive thoughts of you. Hope the transplant went well. You’re in my prayers/thoughts.
Much strength and love for the new year. Rock on.
To a Christmas Season that was filled with Love and Joy!
To a New Year filled with challenges, Victory, Compassion and the knowledge of what gives human beings such potential to know the truest meaning of Hope.
Goodness, you look lovely sans hair. While there is no history of heart disease in my family, to even contemplate where else there may or may not be hair on your lovely personage would be a form of speculation fraught with possible cardiac consequences. Therefore, I will confine my thoughts to the simple fact that your beauty remains….without peer.
As to the business of illness….Our Utopia will come to pass when the Dawinian day is done and the enlightened come forth from the swamps of greed and commerce. Like the day we became human and conscience was born, one day the greatest truth will endure…We’re all in this boat together, traveling to that same sad horizon where every tear that falls is the by product of a good bye.
May 2010 be the year of the Zygote!
I like this quote from Louise Bogan :
“I cannot believe that the inscrutable universe turns on the axis of suffering ,surely the strange beauty of the world must somewhere rest on pure joy .”
And I live by these three by Khalil Gibran:
” Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls,the most massive characters are seared with scars”
“Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding”
“The deeper that sorrow carves into your being the more joy you can contain”
From reading your blogs I can see that you’ve tried to live these as well.Thank you for being so open with your own struggles.
One of the things sickness does (especially the unexpected -out of the blue- flash of lightening variety) is make us so sensitive to the fragility of life.Time takes on a new context and meaning doesn’t it ?
I pray this will be a great year for you.I hope in every moment you will feel the love and hope and support of your friends, family and even all the strangers across the globe who are rooting for you.You may sometimes feel alone but you’re not.Hang in there and keep the faith no matter what !!!!
Dear Lisa
I have always admired you since your Bombay dyeing Ad days. I was stunned to know about the cancer and admire u more that ur taking each step with positive attitude and poise. Even though it’s easier said than done Pls keep urself strong. I m sure one day you wil win. Tk cr may the guardian angel b with u always. xxx
Wish you a good year. 🙂 . -A
Hi Lisa Ray!
I hope you are fine!
I wish God is with you and he help you to be health,

Hola, Lisa…
Hacìa mucho tiempo que no leìa tus escritos, he estado ocupada en la tesis de grado…no es muy interesante,,,peron bueno, nada que hacer..jejje. solo pasè a dejarte un saludo càlido, y a decir: PRESENTE!!!, si de algo sirve, que pienso y oro por tí en las noches y cuando veo un lindo paisaje aquì, pienso en tí y en como te sentirias si lo conocieras. Ley de atracciòn.
Un abrazo….
Francy
Why haven’t u written in for so long, concerned about you !!!!
I just finished watching two of your films, “I Can’t Think Straight” and “The World Unseen. Did not realize until I was done watching them and I was looking up further information about them, that I had heard about your diagnosis a few months earlier. Unfortunately, I hadn’t seen any of your work prior to that to know who you were. You can believe I know now and will be buying or renting all your movies! I love the fact that do work that is challenging and thought provoking. As a lesbian, I am thrilled that you do projects that bring attention to lesbian issues, no matter what they are. Shamim Sarif is an incredible talent and your collaborations with Sheetal Sheth are magical.
I was drawn to your story because, as with most people it seems these days, my life has been touched by cancer. In my case, I have lost both parents to cancer. My father’s diagnosis was hardest though because I had 37 years with him and only 10 with my mom. He, also, was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer called Myelodysplasia. As with multiple myeloma, it usually strikes after the age of 65. It is essentially bone cancer that turns into acute leukemia and is, of course, incurable. He died a few months before his 78th birthday in September 2004.
I was, and still am, inspired by your courage and forthrightness in going public with your diagnosis and sharing your journey with us. Stem cell research is so critical and I am appalled with those who protest against it. We need to find cures!
Critical illness insurance is definitely worth the investment as my dad found out. I guess we all live our lives with the pervasive thought of, “it will never happen to me” but, unfortunately, it does.
Life is transient. My wife had a heart attack 4 years ago at the age of 38 and it terrified me to think I could lose her… the thought had not entered my mind up to that point. A year later I was diagnosed with polycystic kidney disease. I felt like I had been handed a death sentence. It seems almost trivial in comparison to cancer, but it is also is incurable and has a range of outcomes, just like cancer. I came to the conclusion that I could not shut down and stop living before I stop living. My dad shut down and it was hard to talk to him about what was happening. I guess we all deal with things in our own way, but I admire your determined, open attitude. Fight, fight, fight! Talk, talk, talk! Fight! Talk! Fight! If I ever waiver in my resolve to stay positive, I will think of you and I will stop my pity party and fight!
You have touched the life of a stranger, and I am sure I am not the only one.
Stay strong…Be well…Stem cells work your magic!
Love and prayers,
Leeanne
Dear Lisa,
I have a father who is fighting cancer now. I cannot say anything better than to say God bless you. I hope He blesses my father.
Love

“Where else have you lost hair? Hmmmm?”
I died laughing LisA.
Such a strong person you are meant to be emulated. Yes, you are an embodiment of strength and courage.
Keep fighting; you are in our prayers.
Hey Lisa, Carry on your fight with the worse, I am with You, I wish u may get the rid from that as soon as possible…I would like to watch U on Television back working and defeating the hell called Cancer………..! See U…
Zygotes require much talking once they develop. I too hate to talk (I spent a whole year just listening once). Now my developed zygotes require sometimes constant barrage of vociferation. They are beautiful, though, divine in their innocence, so fully here at all times.
I have always wanted to write from the depths of my marrow, like you do. The light in me honors the light in you, Lisa Rani Ray! May the Universe bless you with a safe voyage.
