Finished (again)!

  

 Take nothing for granted, take everything as being granted.

Those were the words shared by the priest Sunday October 9th during mass at the St.Thomas More Newman Center. I’ve been thinking about that statement ever since.

Today I received my 28th Chemo radiation treatment (my last). I have been treated every weekday for the past 6 weeks and this final treatment comes 78 days after my 4th cancer surgery. It is 6 days shy of the two year anniversary of my initial diagnosis on October 23, 2014.

Looking back over that 2 year span, I’ve thought about how much of the time has been consumed with this condition, all well documented in this blog.

Of the 103 weeks, I estimate that 31 were spent without the distractions of planning or undergoing a treatment of some sort.

Yet as I neared this latest milestone, I am still grateful to this day for all that I have been granted in life. I am surrounded by blessings and simply appreciate the gifts I have.

Have a great day today.
