October 1. 2015 I did not get my treatment the thirtieth because the insurance has not yet approved it. I was pretty down about it, but I used sarcasm and humor to get through it.

Cancer #5: Still Waiting…
Sept 9, 2015 I left work again today to meet my surgeon, Dr McNeir. Of course, it did not feel warm, nor fuzzy when I announced I had another appointment.

How do I know? Because live or die, I will be in charge of myContinue reading “Cancer #1: I Discovered the Lump”
Cancer: Battle With Lymphoma
The aging man lay next to the mature woman, his leg wrapped around hers, his arm lying over the top of her body with his fingers gently touching her thigh. She felt all the emotion of his thoughts as he breathed in and out. She was transported to a place she never known with another. Continue reading “Cancer: Battle With Lymphoma”
