Having cancer or being a caregiver for someone who has cancer is life changing. If you let it it can overtake your life. if you let it it will define you. It is one of those occurances that you find yourself putting your trust, your life in others hands. While down at the Cancer clinic in Vancouver I stood outstide and looked up, it was a humbling experience, to think of all the research that was going on behind the windows that I looked at. Don't let having cancer or being a caregiver rob you of precious moments, the touch of two hands, the smiles, the gentle touches, things that in everyday might pass you by. Rejoice in each and every moment. Cancer will become a part of your life, even when in remission it is still there. It is there in death. I am a cancer survivor, it has robbed me of my best friend, my husband.It has left it's mark on my very being and those around me, those who loved him. People are often leery of telling others about their cancer....don't be, let the world know that you are a fighter. Chemo might rob you of your hair, show it as a badge of courage, of strength. I am finding an inner strength to go on, I draw on the love, the memories that I shared with Bryon. By letting others know about cancer they might be moved to donate to research, to go on the Run for the Cure, to be there for you. On the path Bryon and I were fortunate enough to meet many wonderful people. Not just his healthcare team but others who were fighting.
Embrace each and every day!!!!!!!!!!!
