Anyone accessing this site to read about Japan in the 1980s will know that I've changed the address for that blog. You can go there directly - http://japantravel1980. Report from Japan is part-travel diary, part-social documentary, and part-story. After I created my second blog - http://godprostatecancerandme.blogspot.com - I realized I needed more descriptive addresses reflecting the themes of what I was writing. This also allows me to use the original address - http://wbloganau.blogspot.com/ - for information about me as a writer.
God, prostate cancer and me resulted from my healing experience at the holy site in Lourdes, France. I've known definitely that I've had prostate cancer of a particularly aggressive type since July 2006. I've tried various treatments, but my most extraordinary healing occurred at Lourdes. Our lady of Lourdes first appeared to Bernadette Soubirous, a 14-year-old peasant girl, on 11 February 1858. The location of a spring was described to Saint Bernadette by an apparition of Our Lady of Lourdes on 25 February 1858 with the instruction of Our Lady of Lourdes to "drink at the spring and wash in it". I believe I had a healing after drinking and immersing myself in the water, but this raised the question about why I should be so privileged. A strong voice in my head said that the purpose was so that I could tell others about my experience. I've decided to do this by documenting my experiences with prostate cancer in total. A good friend who has since died of stomach cancer advised me at the start to keep a diary. I have done this but I have questioned its value. Now I know.
My biggest writing achievement so far has been in publishing my novel Bloodied Brains and Bureaucrats with http://www.lulu.com/. My profile page for the novel is at www.lulu.com/spotlight/wbloganau. At present the novel can only be purchased with Lulu. Distribution should be available more widely soon, for example, at http://www.amazon.com/. This has been delayed because I did another edit after finding a few typing and grammatical errors. However, this is all done now. Hopefully not too many more errors will turn up.
