I have preached this before, however it is so important that it needs to be told again. When you are diagnosed with cancer (Any type) you will find out who your real friends are. You may think you know them but you will know you have a good friend if they stick around during your treatment.
I say this because I am having an "I beat cancer, thank you for being there" party and one who shall remain nameless blew me off. I mean doesn't this person know how lucky they are that they don't have to go to a FUNERAL. This is a celebration of LIFE. I don't think this is petty at all. I think what this person did SUCKS. But I think what they did was GRADE A Selfish and shitty.
But on a happier note, I just got back from a very pleasant bike ride down preston ridge trail. Due to the rain last night it was cool weather. It is a fact that tail wind is much better than head wind.
I was so depressed all last week, it stunk and Mike was really worried about me. But mood swings come with the territory of cancer. When I tell people that I finished chemo and am in the monitoring stage most people assume monitoring is remission. I don't have the heart to tell them that with my type of cancer I will not ever go into remission. EVER because there are still tumor cells in my brain, and that was confirmed by my oncologist. But the good thing is that it cannot spread outside my brain. The bad thing is that if it crosses the blood brain barrier I am dead. But hopefully that won't happen for a very very long time i.e I will pass of old age first. The likelihood it will cross over is slim to none.
People that have other types of tumors on the right frontal lobe can go into remission. People with other types of cancer can go into remission. Everyone is different and if you are going to get cancer do it in your 20s because our bodies are more resilient and resistant.
Until next time.....
