Unexpected

Out of the blue tonight someone unexpected told me how inspired they are by me. Time to take off these crabby pants and start acting like the positive, inspiration-worthy person I know I can be.

It reminded me of something I read on one of the blogs that I discovered the other day, the author, a stage IV colon cancer patient, wrote the following about chemo...

"Although not an easy thing to do – for many CRC patients, these chemo treatments can be very effective, allowing life to continue for years. Some patients have a lot of trouble with the side effects but most find ways to handle them. My good friend Marie has been treated by irinotecan-based chemo therapy for over 6 years! Life changes for you and your entire family – I personally know hundreds of people doing chemo – but Life goes on. Life is remarkably flexible and the patient and the family adjust to the “New Normal”. You do what you have to do." - Tom M
