Good Question.

Cancer always brings many issues. However the one thing it always brings is: To talk about it or not to talk about it. One thing I learned is that its thrown in your face while in treatment. But it doesn't silence when your stable and doing fine. Its a everyday thing. Is it a good thing to talk about it. Yes for some.
The thing I learned a decade later and as a long term survivor. Is that it doesn't come up ever day like it once did. That I don't want to dwell daily on it. Nor are some people willing to discuss it now. In their eyes its done its over with . In mine its always going to be something to deal with it due to it. But I don't dwell daily on it.
I guess the reason for this blog is because today I deal with some long term issues due to the treatment of my Lymphoma. There are many people out there that might have it and its not talked about nor is it one I knew much about when I was dxed. It took me a while to learn and understand what I was dealing with in the realm of what blood cancers are.
Talking about it journaling is one way through it. I also realize now the importance of writing and documenting the journey. I look back now and the calculated figure of time dealing with Cancer is 11 yrs 52 weeks and 28 days. Some crazy figure,after they told you have three months get things in order asap. God is good always. Being a survivor is the ultimate prize we work towards. I maintain stable as far as my situation with cancer. In talking about it with many I have learned we are all in the same boat. No one gets outta hear alive. Those of us with cancer just know it might happen sooner and we make the best of our days..knowing living in today is the best way to live.

Seize the day, its what we have here and now.
