Life Moves On

Like most people who are told they have cancer time just stops there and then. You don't hear another word that is said from that moment on. It is the disbelief that someone has just given you the worst news ever.
Your world then consists of perhaps an operation, then chemo and then radiation and the hope that you make it through the other side, your body is not your own, it belongs to the medical world in the hope that they make it all go away.
You never expect in your whole being to be told such horrible news ever. You go through life doing the best that you can do and try and do right by everyone and yet the cards are dealt in the worst way.
I have never smoked, I have had the occasional drink and I can safely say never ever done drugs so the question is why me? But we all know there is no answer to that it is what it is and you now have to make the most of what you have.
So after rolling along in a fog for some 7 years its time to do something anything but something. So back to school for me. Believe me what I went to school all those years ago I wasn't top at anything I spent my days day dreaming as all my school reports said, so will being 40 something make a difference NO I still day dream, why change, dreams are what everyone should have. So I will keep at this school, I've nearly done 8 weeks and then if I pass this maths I get to move on to another 8 weeks and I will keep going, because I want to and because I can.
Those of you that have been giving bad news its just a moment in time that you can get through and as long as we wake each morning and the sun is shining its going to be a good day.
