My world turned-up side down, right side up, and round and round. It was a whirlwind of test after test, injections, treatments, and especially not knowing the severity of the condition I had.
I first got chemo in the hospital where my PCP was and he recommended an oncologist I didn't like, so I switched to Amy Lang, whom I adore and her amazing staff.
After being hospitalized twice and close to death the last time, I moved from there to here and decided that it would be in my best interest to leave my hometown in San Antonio and move back in with my mom, who I never really lived with. We get along ok, but I miss my friends. I need to get involved and meet people.
I'm coming across my 2nd year anniversary of Lung Cancer, which is a big thing. The statistics are stacked against me, but I have to rely on faith and that God is the ultimate physician and is merely guiding the works of the doctors.
I don't want this to be a sad bad mopey mourning mood of life because we're not dead yet! You have to keep this faith in your heart and move around some on the days you are feeling great. If you don't keep moving, you won't move, and that, my friend, would suck.
To me, living with cancer is about attitude and a commitment to that. There are not a whole lot of positive books about lung cancer and I'm hoping that will change too. There is a wonderful book called Voices of Lung Cancer: The healing stories for courage, comfort and strength. Read those! (Editor's note: This book is available for purchase from Amazon.com through our website.) And watch "Facing the Giants" if you are in need of a quick fix. God bless you all in each of your journeys.
