We
made it to six years cancer free! I had some recent checkups last month and
everything came out good. The PET scan always detects a small mass in the middle
of my chest. It’s been there since I started Chemo but it has not grown or
moved. My Oncologist says its scar tissue from the Bleomycin drug that they
gave me during Chemo. You try and not to freak out at stuff like that but it’s
hard. I will continue to go once a year for checkups. I will continue to be
active, eat healthy and try not to freak out!
These past few years my wife and I have been talking about
moving from our house and living in a cleaner environment. We talk about
growing real food and living off the land as much as possible. It became a
dream of ours to live on land and to live simply without debt. We would go back
and forth coming up with different reasons NOT to do something like this. One
of those big reasons was the fear of my cancer coming back. I do not want to
live fearful. I can stay comfortable in
my current situation and always think what if. I did not want to say to myself
in 10-20-30 years what if we HAD followed our dreams? I do not want the “what
if” I get cancer again be the reason we didn’t do something like this. I do not
want to be waiting around to see if cancer will return. I do not want to wait
and think about “what if”. But what if my cancer does not come back? What if
the reason that I was diagnosed with cancer was to wake us up! What if we as a
family can make a dream and a different way of thinking actually work! What if we can go!
So we are following our dreams and moving across the United
States to live simply, growing real food and living debt free.
