The Second Half Starts Now! #Crushit for good!

Today I begin my 7th chemotherapy treatment. It is the start of the second half and this is where we will win the game.

My progress so far has been very positive. We are approaching 6 months since my original diagnosis and through the surgeries, the therapy and countless visits with doctors my focus is determined and clear, success is the only outcome.

In taking time to reflect on my journey this past weekend, I recognized the endless support I have received from so many friends, co-workers, and family members who’s encouragement has put me in a position to win. It is amazing and we are forever grateful.

I have learned much about Cancer in these last 6 months and I will likely learn much more as the journey continues. If I had to sum up my education to this point, Cancer touches all of us and it does so with frightening inconsistency as to how we cope, heal, and live. It stretches our emotional, philosophical and intellectual condition and forces us to explore new territory and push through conventional boundaries. It is also the domain of a vast array of passionate advocates, researchers and caregivers who have never been closer to finding a way out! Having said all that, perhaps this bumper sticker “montage” I saw on my way to chemo treatment today sums it up best:

Sometimes it just needs to be said. 🙂
