The days were still cool to cold as I headed out of town to get my 2nd chemo treatment. In another blog, I already mentioned my fiasco of trying to walk the parking lot. It appears my life is always naturally full of adventure or perhaps I am responsible for creating that adventure, not quite sure. These beginning treatments were…

I recall that during my cancer battle I was faced with several very difficult moments.  One of my most difficult moments in my cancer journey was when I was faced with test results that indicated that I still had cancer.

During my cancer battle, I received treatments in different hospitals and clinics which allowed me to meet numerous people who were facing the same challenge as I was, Cancer. As I continued receiving more and more treatments, I started to notice some of the other cancer patients were no longer going in for their daily treatments. Unfortunately, everyone in the…
