Living Through Cancer

 

I’ve been quiet on the blog front for quite a while. First, I felt there was so much noise during the campaign and election and I didn’t want to add to the racket.

For the last month, a different kind of turmoil has kept me silent.

There’s no easy way to say, the cancer I prayed was in my rear view mirror is back. Almost two years after finishing chemo and radiation, I start a second course of chemo early in December.

When I was diagnosed with uterine cancer in June of 2014, I wrote the blog post, After You Hear It’s Cancer, about my feelings and reactions to hearing those terrifying words.  http://4broadminds.blogspot.com/2014/06/after-you-hear-its-cancer.html

I don’t have all the words yet to describe what it’s like to hear it is cancer the second time around.

I wanted to be done writing about cancer, hoping I’d already learned and shared everything from this experience that I was supposed to learn.

But, life doesn't always give us what we want. So today, I write the blog I hoped never to write.

Each day, I’m reminded again I can live through cancer one day at a time. I know from experience that is easier when I am not alone. So, however you send positive vibes into the universe—prayer, chanting, holding in the light—could you send some of that my way?
