I'm more worried about being riddled with arthritis and having trouble walking! However, the memories are still there. I still remember the associative nausea when I visit a hospital and the lost feeling when my oncologist released me from his care. Sooooo, do you forget? No. Do you move on? Yes. After a while cancer is just another bump in the road of life. We can navigate the bump successfully but these is always another one ahead. Look for the good; don't dwell on the bad.

Anyone who ha...I think the veteran term is so true. Anyone who has been through war is forever changed, and that's what cancer does to you. I am so glad you are seeing other people's cancer stories as theirs and not yours. It's just to hard to think otherwise. I love the concept of cancer thriver too and I think you are there. Every day is a beach day waiting to happen. It's not just beating the disease that matters; it's living in spite of it that makes it a mere footnote in your life. You are bigger than cancer.Chris Bradynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-512607099126623086.post-48861819445356686402015-11-11T15:12:41.700-08:002015-11-11T15:12:41.700-08:00Thanks Kathy.
