Dear cancer,
It's been a year now since we started going at it... You took my grandfather when I was young, and I never really got to know him because of it. Several years passed and then you decide to take my father from me. He's my hero and losing him was something I've never really gotten over.
Last year you started in with me. I ran thru all the emotions and then settled on just one. My family and friends came and lined up behind me and we all prepared ourselves for what needed to be done. I prepared myself for bad days but I honestly wasn't expecting how bad those days would be. It was like hell on earth but now I know I can handle anything you can dish out. No way I was gonna quit. And in case you are thinking about coming back, my promise to you is more of the same from me.
Now, I'm sitting at home enjoying my evening. Spent the whole week this week putting in full days at the office. I'll be going for a nice bike ride in the morning. I'm able to sit in the saddle now without any pain and my legs are getting stronger each week. I am still receiving chemo treatments for the next few months but that's just to help make sure I don't have to deal with you again.
You were never welcome here and now you're gone....but I'm still here.
