Memoir of a Hollow Man |
My name is Dave Cashen and I am a hollow man. On May 30, 2011 my life changed forever due to cancer...and this is my story. My most recent happenings appear at the top, but for my journey to read in it's entirety, it is best to begin with my first posting. To find it, scroll down the page, then click the arrow at the bottom to 'page back' until you can't go any further and you see my first post "How I Got Here". Click the link "About Me" to learn more about myself and the reasons why I felt I needed to share my story. |

Almost 2 years ago I never thought I’d ever enjoy eating food again, let alone making it. My love for food has been growing ever since then, and so has my enjoyment for making meals. This is a first for me; sauteed shrimp & garlic in butter, then mixed with chopped cabbage, turmeric & mayonnaise, and placed on a fresh artisan roll. #damngood #newchapter #thisisliving #memoirofahollowman #cdh1 #stomachless

1st mountain bike mission was a success…3 miles uphill, some of which was fairly rocky & technical. Challenging to say the least for a first ride in a while, and exhausting. 25min up - 5min down…so fun! #newchapter #kootenayskillit #feelinggood #getoutandplay #hollowman

Today was a huge milestone in my recovery…all of them. First day I worked all day & participated in an activity after…and it was soccer! Took it easy, but energy was good and knee held up well… #newchapter #kootenayskillit #firstfootyinthreeyears #mountainbikingnext #bringonsummer #itson
