August 20, 2013

Cancer weighs heavy on my mind today.

When I started my Blog I started following blogs of other cancer patients. Two blogs in particular; Jen Hanks and Amanda Boyd drew my attention and soon my admiration. These women took on the disease with courage, determination and wonderful attitudes. As I went though treatment and as I continue to recover I have followed their journeys and have tried to be as strong as they.

Amanda's husband Mark, writes their blog, today my heart went out to him as Amanda is in her last days of life, her cancer came back. Jen Hank's cancer also returned and she moves forwards into round two of her battle.

In addition to Amanda and Jen a couple of individuals I know will undergo the same lower rectal surgery this week that I had two years ago. This will be followed by chemo; followed by (for one) a reversal, the other will have an Ostomy bag for the rest of his life.

I have just started another round of follow ups and am hopeful that I will get the “All Clear” in another month or so. It is nerve wracking. 

Speaking of "Nerve Wracking", I take Patrick to the M.V.A. for his driver test in about twenty minutes.....
