In which I take a journey, searching for the me I want to be. My previous Blog, Michael My Son http://danielmyson.blogspot.com/ chronicles the death of my beloved son Michael in June 2011. What followed was grief that found no peace. In October of 2011 I diagnosed with Lymphoma. I believe that it was the result of my grief over Michael.This blog is about my journey through cancer and beyond. / Older posts on right.

Normal Life and a big thank you.
If I wasn't bald, I would forget for days that I have been diagnosed with cancer. I like to use that terminology because I feel that this has been taken care of even though I was diagnosed with it. I will go through the treatment plan and then move on. I feel 100% normal and very healthy. The only issue is that I have too much appetite! I am trying to be more careful about what I eat so I don't have to go back and loose weight all over again. I know intuitively that this isn't the time to try to loose weight. So I have to eat healthy and avoid the sweets. I am having cravings. Sheesh!
I am back to my pre cancer exercise regime, gym/ Wild Animal Park. When I do either one I get this feeling of well being. The endorphins course through my body and I feel happy, peaceful centered.
This journey has been amazing. All the things I dreaded about chemotherapy just havent materialized. Who would think that I could feel this good while undergoing chemotherapy?
Yesterday I called the doctor who first found the tumor in my gut. Her name is Dr. Day. I thanked her for saving my life. She was very touched. She said I made her day, and her Christmas. She not only found the tumor, she pushed me through the process of diagnosis and treatment very quickly. I believe that because of her quick action, the cancer has not spread to my bone marrow. This makes the treatment so much easier. I was at stage 3. If it was in my bone marrow it would be stage 4...the worst.
Dr Day told me that it is a good thing the tumor was located where she would be able to find it. She said that the reason people die of ovarian cancer and pancreatic cancer is that by the time it is found it is too late because of the location deep within the body. I believe that this whole thing was a part of some miraculous plan for my life. I have learned so much already!
I have cleared all resistance to this and to the other areas of my life that had me in turmoil. Im in a place of gratitude. That feels very healing.
