Hi Rick, thankfully the cancer has not spread and you don't have to rush making a decision as to which treatment you want. You know we, as your fans and advocates, want only the best outcome for you. I look forward to the next part of your journey. Always in my thoughts.
Hi Sandra, and thanks so much for your support. I, too, was thankful that my cancer had not spread and we had time to decide. That first month after diagnosis was filled with facts and feelings.
I love the depth of descriptions of your daily , or several days maybe , dose of Mind bending and heart wrenching travels thru this time of the unknowns and trying to absorb and digest the info that gets thrown at a person . I hated parts of it ! I also admire you for being able to share this . I have trouble with some of mine due to my anger and frustration that I felt . I am still feeling much of that and wish that my journey was further along ? Maybe ? None of us know our future but to look back on what has happened is very hard for me . Thankyou for this and I do much of what you describe - watching nature around me . I have bird feeders and love watching the Many species of birds , there antics and my Cats . And my best friend my Dog . Glad that you are in remission as I am - I like to think of it like I have beaten it instead . I am a busy person , at least I used to be much more so than now . But I manage ? I live in the country of the Appalachian Mtns - so I have my share of nature . Not as much as you but some ! Thanx again and I hope you have a good rest of your day . Talk more later .
David, I'm glad you have your dog, the birds you watch, and your time in nature to bring you joy. That's so important as we move forward, trying to rebuild our bodies after treatment.
Hi Rick, I know that everyone’s cancer journey is unique but so many similarities too. Especially in how everything changes with the diagnosis. I too found myself suddenly in that club that nobody wants to be in. It felt dark and overwhelming. I remember thinking I just wanted to see beautiful things. And I sure have in the last few years. I’m grateful that I already loved my time in the woods and nature. I also found nature to be very healing.
Hi Ruth, and thank you for sharing about your journey. I'm glad that you were able to meet your need to see beautiful things and spend time in nature. I found being in nature healing, too, and I'll share about that in upcoming chapters.
Thanks, Gary. I appreciate your support. These honest and heartfelt chapters describe the two years of treatment I completed. The treatment worked well, and my cancer is in remission at this point.
