Back again. I’ve been gone for a long time. While I was going through the cancer treatment I struggled with the blog because everything took effort. Making a simple phone call took effort. I found out that I had cancer again on November 17th 2011 and my final treatment was June 7th. Basically my life as I knew it stopped during that period. Since then I have moved from California to Washington State which has been a huge adjustment. I’ve lived 39 of my 47 years in California and Washington is the polar opposite of California, so it’s quite a change. I never realized it would be so hard getting back to normal life after the treatment, but I guess it was the same way back in 2008. The difference is this time is more serious.
I can honestly say that this has been an incredible faith building journey. Cancer is terrible but it forces you to make a decision. Do I want to live or am I good with dying? I can go 3 different ways.
- I can sit down and be scared and sad and feel sorry for myself and expect everyone to do the same. This will be my death sentence for sure.
- I can continue my life and live normally.
- or, I can be positive and actively figure out what it is that I need to do to save my life.
So I know I need to excersice daily, and eat right. I also know that I need to be calm and as happy as possible. It’s been proven that people who are not happy die much sooner from cancer. From there I’m not really sure what I really need to do, so it’s the good thing that I’m a Christian so that I can give the rest to God until he shows me what I need to do to save my life. Thursday I’m going to a natropath doctor so I’m hoping that will also help.
Anyone who is reading this can expect to see me here on a daily basis for now on. My nephew Ben really wanted me to do this blog. He thinks it will be good for me and helpful to others, so I’m just going to start and see where it goes from here.
