It's very existence


To live every breath


Pray


I began passing blood in my urine. That’ll scare the daylights outta ya.


Went in for a biopsy, stayed for the removal, never looked back. God is good!

Now every 6 months I get scoped. After the last Doc says every 12 for a scope every 6 for a pee test. Boy am I gonna miss getting scoped. The thing looks like a straw and feels like a sewer line.

My TruthViews: 351

MY TRUTH

I worry
Not about me
Not about my end
Not about my cancer
Not about my treatments

I worry
How this effects you
My wife
My sons
My daughter

I worry
If I will be strong enough
To help you
To protect you
To make everything alright for you

I worry
have I…
Loved enough
Cried enough
Laughed enough
Shared enough

I will live today
In such a way
that I do not have to worry

Dear Mac; YOu are always an inspiration and beam of sunlight for all of us here. It is a wonderful message that you give to us, that is, sharing your innner most feelings that most men have very difficult times in doing. I suppose Cancer can bring out the best in us. Weezie
