The Long Road home

My treatment this past Monday was my 8th of 12 scheduled treatments. It's getting a little easier to see light at the end of the tunnel and that in and of itself is a motivating factor.

Got a chance to see the film "50/50" this week about a young guy in his late 20's who gets diagnosed with a rare cancer out of the blue. A bit of a dark comedy to say the least, I thought it was really well done and a film I could obviously relate to. If you get the chance to watch it I'd encourage you to do so as it gives you an idea of the "shock" of being diagnosed with cancer at a young age. The circumstances in the film are much different and more dire than my own but it was still interesting to share some perspective with the main character.


Lastly, a quick plug for some friends: The girls at Libre Clothing are involved in a contest to get their products placed in Walmart stores across the country. You may remember from a previous post that Libre makes clothing for chemotherapy and dialysis patients with discrete zippers that make it comfortable and convenient to stay warm while receiving treatment. I've enjoyed wearing one of their sweatshirts and I know others with my circumstance would appreciate the idea as well. You can help them out by following this link and voting for them in the "Get on the Shelf" contest:


Thanks for checking out the blog and thanks as always for your kindness and support!
