we found cancer

101810


We "need" cancer because, by the very fact of its incurability, it makes all other diseases, however virulent, not cancer. ~ Gilbert Adair

October 18th will never be just another day for me.  That is the day that I heard the words, "We found cancer".  That is the day my life fell apart, and indeed, the day I began to rebuild it.

  2. It is the rebuilding that is the most important part. And the fact that you have the attitude that it is about rebuilding rather than destruction makes all the difference.

    Enjoy the day.

  3. Love the picture and your thought. It is not the fact that we live that makes the difference. It is what we do with our lives. Or, as one of my favorite quotes says: Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, it is about learning to dance in the rain". I think you do that very nicely!!

  6. But think how far you have come since that awful day...this image is a reminder the sun will always rise and set, even through the storms, and you have done just that! Be proud of yourself! :)
