Gee Cindy What an attitude!! Oh my gosh you are so positive and upbeat for someone that just had he throat cut out. I wonder at how you can do it. I am so glad that you've come through this with good, no great results.

  Should I give you a reason to admonish me about to get you back in the swing of things. Oh wait a minute I don't need to improvise anything. I can do that w/o even trying.

Anyway Cindy we are all glad you are doing well and at returning for duty.

  Hugs,

I hope for the best for you.

This will be my final entry into this Blog.
I will give people a chance to respond if they wish and then I will lock it and start a new Blog and Chapter in my life.

I'm doing this because I have moved on. I was diagnosed with Cancer in June 2016 and this Blog has served me well to express my thoughts and fears but also, and so importantly, to keep in contact with all of you - people who are important to me in my life.

Thank You. You have sustained me during some very dark times.

After my chemoradation was over I felt as if I was in remission, it was short lived. After my surgery I now feel that my cancer has gone. Effectively it has - there is no evidence of it and even if there were, there is no treatment option for me. So this Chapter is closed.

Looking back over the last 10 months is interesting in how I have grown as a person. I do feel that I have discovered aspects of me that I cherish and that I am proud of. I have no regrets.

I have faced deep rooted fears and I have overcome them. Fear hates the light, as in the light it changes to courage.

Recently I was reading a Blog by Roberta Gately in Huffington Post about her fight. Her final paragraph touched me as it so reflects my feelings.

I reproduce it here:

"Cancer may have stolen a year of my life, but it gave me so much more, a life sentence rather than a death sentence, and an appreciation of all that is beautiful in life. I've learned the hardest lesson there is - how to live like I'm dying. And while I'm now in remission, the lessons I've learned will stay with me forever, and I wish for all of you - a life filled with endless beauty and endless possibilities. Without the diagnosis of course."

That is beautiful, Cindy. You are an inspiration in positive thinking, and I salute you as you move FORWARD into your next chapter. We all should value the lives that we have, and those of our friends and relatives. Every person is precious and we are lucky to have them.
Love Randy

Peace be with you.
