Re: My bad news for the year

I spent the last three years going through this shit but it is gone now/ metastasized melanoma . been in remission for about 9 months. You are scared shitless right now but the key thing that you have to do is find a doc that is willing to fight with you, not against you. you will not make all the sessions, but with a good oncologist that won't matter. he will fit you in. you are not a cancer victim, you are a person living with cancer. and living is what you need to do. so go on the trip, i told my oncologist several times that i could not make it due to play activities. it is a balancing act, being alive vrs being a cancer victim. cancer victims die. people with cancer are still here to fight tomorrow.
