Tomorrow is the first appointment with an oncologist. If I am lucky, the pathology will come back and then we will have a realistic big picture. I am so ready to know what this is so I will know how hard I have to fight. I know it isn't going to be easy, but I am ready.
Cancer has always been so ominous and scary but I'm not scared. I am just realizing there are a million different types of cancer. A million outcomes, and a million different ways to fight. I used to lump people into 2 categories: people with cancer and people without cancer. That is so not fair and so wrong. Everyone has their own illness and their own fight...... And everyone of them is completely unique and completely different. So even if you are a member of the club...... you can't compare. It isn't 2 categories, it is a million categories. All the people that aren't sick and all the people that have their own unique fight.
This is so beautifully stated. Its true, I do the same! In my mind there are two schools of thought: people who have cancer and people who don't. Your comments are enlightening, because every person fighting cancer has a different battle, each paving a unique road. I check your blog many times during the day. Please keep writing. I ALWAYS want to know what you are doing, thinking, and feeling. My thoughts are always with you Miss Ellen, Love Bethie.
