I've been wanting to post all day but could not find the words. I believe that we all learn from each other and your story is so inspiring and I swear that the next time I worry about what to wear to work, I'll think of you.
In my line of work I do, from time to time, encouter out-of-town cancer patients that have come to town for treatment and in speaking to them I'm always amazed at their courage, strength and humour!! Your attitude is so uplifting to me and I'm so thankful you've chosen to share your struggle with us. There has been lots of cancer in my family but today there's ONLY reason for hope with the advanced treatments that are being developed. My cousin is going through a second bout of chemo for lung cancer caused by 2nd hand smoke. Her last scan revealed a spot on her brain and we are all hoping that this round will do the trick.
Congratulations on hitting the single-digits! I know that you probably have access to information from the ACS but if there's anything else I can do, please PM me and I'll do my best.
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!
