I'm Still Here
Today is August 15, 2018, and I am back! Five years cancer free, but since my treatment I have been technologically timid; I was inspired today to to try to become a blogger again. Throat cancer caught me quite by surprise to say the least, but by the grace of God I am still here!
To be frank, I was mislead by my physicians that I would be 100% cured by my treatments for advanced throat cancer. What they don't tell you is all the other damage that these same treatments will cause to your body, besides the threat of other cancers from the use of chemotherapy and radiation concurrently. So I have been taking one day at a time and I am reassured that God is in control.
How Did I Get Throat Cancer?
Heck if I know. Five years ago I couldn't believe it was happening to me, today after waking up to all the deception of processed food being safe, I wonder why I hadn't gotten sick sooner! Back then my diet was terrible, and the value of proper nutrition escaped me. Still, I have never been a smoker or drinker, so throat cancer had been the least of my worries. I went through some pretty dark times, and I've posted some documentary videos on my personal experience.
My Experience Briefly Explained
During that summer in June 2013, I was living a nightmare that had no escape. Now after recovering I know some of my physicians could have made me more comfortable, but they didn't. And Looking back I felt like some type of science experiment; Smiles and a white coat and stethoscope don't guarantee you have a healthcare worker who gives a sh**t about your suffering, recovery, or survival.
Just to be clear I was, and still am, under the care of more than one doctor, and so I am not pointing a finger at anyone in particular. What I will say is for anyone diagnosed with cancer, or any illness, get on your mobile device or laptop, and do some research on your own. Ask for a copy of your tests, you're entitled to the first copy free, and make sure you are fully participating in your treatment and recovery. Do that, and most importantly pray through it all. No matter what you are told, remember God has the finally say.
A New Beginning
Every day you are blessed to wake up, is a new beginning. So you have aches, pains, and threats of looming disaster in many long term side effects the treatment of an illness; try to take the focus off of you and turn it on to others. Praise God through it all. Life is tough, but our God is tougher. I'm back and I'm better than I ever was because I no longer have a casual relationship with God. My eyes have been opened to the messed up world we live in. I am seeing things more clearly than I ever have before and so I am gong to trust the Lord in every new beginning that is before me.
Imagery Explained
Experimenting in Photoshop editing and I came up with this effect for my selfie. I like it! And I'm excited to continue creating and sharing on this blog. I will try not to disappear for another 3 years! Blessings!
