So here I am; back in the hosptial getting my second dose of ICE chemo for my "recurrence" of the Big C. I've been meaning to start this blog for some time now but with the recent events of life I find myself exhausted when there finally is time. However, now is the best time as ever though, so here we go. This blog isn't just to keep folks updated; I want to take you all on my adventure with the Big C.
For those who know me well its been no secret that I've always been involved in something creative. Writing is no exception. It is something I went to college for but as life happened and I became busier it was lost in the madness. I'm hoping this blog will get me back to that outlet. Writing has always been something very personal for me; it's not something I've ever shared with others unless I had to but things are different now. My attitude about many things has changed dramatically over the last 12 months....so I invite you to join me on this journey for the ups and the downs, the laughter and the tears, and the many lessons that can be learned along the way. I'm hoping, praying, and wishing for this to be a cure in the end; the end of a chapter in my book of life.
As one of my absolute favorite writers, Garrison Keillor has summed it up best,"It's a shallow life that doesn't give a person a few scars." I believe it's those scars that give us the invaluable life experiences that make us who we are. And so, the blogging begins...
Looking forward to following your journey. I also head into the hospital for my 2nd cycle of chemo next week-- for Neuroblastoma.
ReplyDeleteGlad you found my own blog at http://cancercaw.com -- your advice about the Dex is appreciated. Nice to have some perspective from someone who relates!
