People keep telling me I should write about my cancer experience. Honestly, I couldn’t do it while I was going through it…. but now that I’m on the other side of this thing, I am going to do a little bit of writing. I may only write little bits at a time but hopefully they will help someone. I know that after I was better, I spent so much time reading the experiences of others, to try to better understand what I went through.
I don’t smoke. I exercise and eat healthy. Why did I get cancer of the tonsil, for goodness sake? I don’t know. But I did and I went through some very nasty treatments. But now I feel great and I absolutely am in love with my life.
I will write a bit more about my treatments later. Right now I just want to introduce myself – I’m now 46 years old, I have a husband and a 9-year old daughter. And I have amazing friends. I’m hoping to make some more amazing friends online!
Thanks for your support -

Enjoy

i have read your posting and am glad that you are now on the other side.. but i believe that it is even so much nicer how one appreciates life so much more and realize the true value of life
My moto is ” Life is precious and life is very short” Oh how we come to realize the people around us so very much more and a speciall loves lives with them always.. It truly makes one realize that even if they live until they are 90 yrs old that it is only a short period of time compared to eternity.. as for me it has increase my faith in God so much more than before,, and secondly my wife an my children and my grandchildren. oh how precious they have become.
Yet I have also realize that cancer is never finished with me but it shall not defeat me..
And so i just want to wish you the best in life and my God watch over you and your family in a special way ….. your friend Ray
Hellow Heidi; Another person here to welcome you to the club. Yes this is the place to find new meaning, hope, pure facts and of course support for what you are going through. Some of us feel like old hat but in reality most of us have been members for a couple of years. This thing we call the devils advocate is beyond most of our reach but we do instill in each other a hope, prayer and undying understanding of what is going on, even if we don’t understand all the garble of the Dr.’s speak. This is the place to vent, revitalize, reconnect with our inner feelings without a lot of guilt. Yes I think we all have guilt that we feel our loved ones are getting involved, without knowing that they too are in limbo, feeling helpless and alone. But the real thing is: We can’t deal with them when the real thing is our life and not theirs. You get it…. Guilt breeds guilt, so that’w why we are here talking instead of being in the moment with our family.. Not so bad really cause they have their own sorrows and hurt that they don’t want to put on us. I get it, and so do most of us. So welcome here to the blog of assistance and friendship. Nothing will harm us as long as we stick together and fight fight fight. So here it is in black and white. No colours, no fame, no miracles just CANCER. that’s it and that is all we have that is different from our loved ones that love us. Soon it may be their turn so they are afraid it might be them next. I get that too. We are the pirana of the species but who better to trail blaze the situation than YOU ME AND ALL THE OTHER BLOG FOR A CURE CHAPIONS. Stick with us, cause what other place can provide such inspiration? /see you later…..
