News

Everyday I read the paper. I don't know why I do because I'm always reading about someone dying. The worst part is when I read that they died of Cancer my fear is heighten! Today Bonnie Franklin died of cancer. She was only 69 years old. Remember her on One Day At A Time? She was the mom. I watched that show faithfully when I was young. I didn't know her personally but the news sadden me. That fear of dying from this disease stays with me. Reading how people celebrated their victory over cancer and then years later it came back and they die, blows my mind and increases my fear. Someone cautioned me not to talk about my journey too much to others in social media. I got it because I don't want people to get sick of hearing me talk, I want to be heard when necessary. The only thing is, writing soothes my fear. It's my therapy and I don't think anyone understands my fear but those who have experienced my fight. I'm going to take my friends advice because she has valid reasoning to it. I'll just continue to blog and write my book and hope it gives me that same calming medicine to my soul. Gilder Ratner, Bonnie Franklin, Minnie Rippleton, all those great women of strength has succumb to this illness. What can I do better, to survive? This has been my nightmare no one except another Soldier in this army (cancer survival) will ever truly understand.
