Still kickin here. My last Ct scan and Bone scan showed no advancement in the cancer. Not going to look a gift horse in the mouth. I am extremely grateful for each and every day. Still hoping to live forever :^) Xavier

Acceptance

Just had another treatment thursday, so the last few days haven't been to whippy. It's hard to believe I've been getting these treatments for about a year now. They have helped. I don't feel like I've lost much ground since I started.
Since it has given me more time, I am faced with a new issue. Acceptance. I've learned that it isn't a one time deal. I've felt good enough at times that I con myself into believing that I may still live forever :)
So, I must accept my circumstance all over again. X.
