We have 19:00:00 to go until I”m officially disconnected from chemotherapy. Today I reflected on words Heather’s co-worker Carrie Best shared with her in early November. Carrie is a true cancer warrior and you can read about her story here. It is a miraculous cancer story and it is the definition of determination!

One evening shortly after my diagnosis, Heather and I were preparing dinner and I asked her about Carrie and her situation. Carrie had been treated by the James initially for a rare and aggressive cancer, Merkel Cell Carcinoma. She had reached a point in her battle where standard care had failed and she was faced with experimentation. It is fare to say that Carrie faced the reality that her options were few, unproven and that her time might be limited. I asked Heather that evening, “what does Carrie have to say about her situation” and Heather replied in a very matter-of-fact manner, “Carrie says I’m not giving up, I’ve got too much to live for, I am going to see my kids grow up.”
These words, “I’ve got too much to live for . . .” are with me everyday and if you read Carrie’s story you will understand how important those words can be to #crushingit.
That sums it up. You’ve got this Bob! Keep crushing it!
You have always had determination don’t spot now
