Thoughts of the moment
Hi all-
This blog is not yet a part of my routine so I apologize for the long time between my posts, I’ll try to get better. Here are a few of my thoughts at the moment:
Cancer diagnosis, treatment and living is a MARATHON. At least, that is what we hope and pray for. For me this started out as a big bang about 2.5 years ago and at the time it felt like everything would happen so quickly. Here we are two years later and I am still plugging away and buying time. With my diagnosis they have told me I will never be in remission - but who’s to say, nobody knows God’s plan! All I hope and pray for is more good time with my family and friends.
Lean on God, family and friends. This is what it’s all about and I am very thankful for your prayers, visits and your thoughts. I love you all!
Be your own advocate. Doctors know what they study and observe but they will never know about your faith, your vitamins/supplements, your diet, etc. Do your own research, in my case my wife does a lot of this for which I am infinitely thankful. Connect with community and share stories, successes and setbacks as we are all in this together.
Lastly, everyone reacts to this differently. Some of my friends have shown up more, some friends from my past (who were and always will be friends) reappeared, other friends have fallen away not knowing what to say. It’s all ok. I don’t know how to do this either, so I am very comfortable with any and all reactions and I am just thankful to have you all a part of my life.
I think that’s it for today, again I love you all and I am very thankful that God put us together. XXOO Jason
