Denial

If I walk fast enough, far enough, I can outrun the cancer.

Four miles again today.

What a perfect time of year to be out walking! Just as new life is springing up all around you, you are celebrating that the long winter of being sick and weak has ended. Thinking of you and wishing you the best

Hmm maybe I better start walking (running)! Unfortunately I can’t right now, I am tired, this is my 5th year fighting this and it looks like it’s going to win. Well, I shall keep fighting for now. I am so glad you are out and about walking, although I don’t want you to be walking through fear of cancer catching you. Oh that breaks my heart thinking that’s why you are doing it, I know what you mean though because I did go into remission once (so the doctors said) and I was constantly watching over my shoulder thinking the cancer was going to catch me again. I think when you have had a very serious form of cancer (not that all cancer isn’t serious but you know what I mean, there are different stages) it is normal to be afraid of it coming back. I don’t know what to say to make you feel better, except live in the moment, that is all you can do. Hugs to you xxxxJen B xxxx
