Me And My Cancer Adventure

[Froggie]

Well got my 21st treatment today and I asked what was the percentage of the survival rate they mentionned 2 weeks ago - 80% .... my god, I may be a lab rat but am I ever glad that this product is working wonders ... we only had 6 to 12 months survival and we passed the 1 year cap and we don't look like cancer patients ! Glad I was able to contribute to science and to futur bowel cancer patients.

Yea, I bet it is. It sounds like a type of remission. You are so brave and real about all of this.

I guess many folks should/could be more aware of the fragility of life. We might respect it more and appreciate the beauty around us, look for the goof,oops had a KP moment, good. You have made me so much more aware of the good that is around me. It feels like the good has pushed some of the PTSD out of the way. I want to profoundly thank you for encouraging me to become real to myself by your example.

I started going to a couple of workshops offered by the Cancer Foundation. One is exercices and the other is art therapy. I had missed the first 3 sessions of art therapy because of my medical obligations, but this week I was able to attend. It did me a lot of good as, at first, we were just 4 women and we started to talk and I found out we all had colorectal (bowel) cancer. I had the most severe case. I told them that my cancer was incurable and that I was part of a research for a new molecule to treat this forme of cancer. The lady beside leaned over, put her hand on my arm and said "You mean that you accepted being a cobaye to save us?" It then dawned on me that yes that's exactly it and I said so. She said thank you with tears in her eyes. This really hit me right down to my soul and made me realize that I was really doing something important with my life. I was so touched.
