Things I'm learning - the list

This is a running list of the things I have been learning from my experience with cancer. Some I'll write more about and some I won't .  Some you may want to comment on.  

1.     You can wash one hand but you make a mess doing it. (I learned this after having one arm in a brace that I couldn't get wet for three weeks.)

2.     The power of the human body to learn and adapt to change is stunning.  

3.     For the most part, people genuinely want to help and bless each other.

4.     The fact that I need something does not create an obligation for anyone else to meet that need.

5.     Gratitude is strong medicine.

6.     The degree to which we have learned grace shows up most clearly when we are not at our best.

7.     Cancer may be limited, but if it hits you better take it seriously.

8.     I’m not very patient.

9.     My wife is a saint.

10. Even when body parts are missing or re-arranged, we remain the same person.

11. The power of combined prayer is real.

12. God knows who we are, where we are and when we are in need.

Cancer Chronicles chapter 1: Why am I doing this?

Why am I doing this? I have to confess this blog wasn’t initially my idea.   It was suggested by several friends, but chiefly inspired by my good friend Kris Kristensen who is fighting a life-changing battle with cancer.   After emergency surgery to remove his left leg and pelvis, and more surgeries due to  infections like  C-diff, he found his life changed dramatically overnight.   He started a blog to keep family and friends updated on his progress and found  that writing was cathartic.   When he and I spoke about my recent experiences he encouraged me to write and to share what I wrote with others.      Despite his encouragement the thought of writing about my experiences was intimidating. Could I put thoughts about my experiences in writing in a way that would express them adequately? Even if I could, why would anyone else find them worth reading?   What could I say that might be helpful or a blessing for someone else? ...

News and some reflections

Hello friends.   I don’t have any dramatic health news to announce in this post, just two relatively tame items.   Mostly I am trying to get back on the writing horse and ride after a year of not sharing.   News The first news item is that the auto-immune condition that has always preceded my cancer has returned.   We’re trying to manage it with medication but it’s too early to tell what impact the medication is having.   Obviously, we hope we can tame or subdue it this time before it turns the corner.   As always, we acknowledge and appreciate the power of combined prayer and sincerely welcome any prayers on our behalf. The second news item is that I have become an Ambassador for the Head and Neck Cancer Alliance ( https://headandneck.org/ ). This organization is devoted to raising awareness about these cancers, educating people about prevention and screening, and supporting those who are recently diagnosed or in treatment.   Part of my effort t...

Chapter four: I’m not good at being constant, but cancer is

Despite my good intentions when I started this blog last year, I haven’t done well at posting regularly.  It isn’t that I didn’t want to, but life happened and I didn’t continue what I started.  I have still been learning, but not reflecting on it or writing about it, so the learning hasn't gone as deep or stuck as well.  Apparently, the universe took note and is sending me back to school.    A month ago, I noticed a new growth.   Two weeks ago, we had a biopsy which came back positive. We don’t have a date yet, but there will be surgery sometime this month to remove the rest of the tumor.   On the positive side, this surgery will not be as radical or complicated as the last one.   On the other hand, there is evidence that the cancer has spread to my lymph system. Part of the surgery will be to take lymph nodes from my neck to see if the cancer has spread there.   If the genie is out of the bottle, there will be more treatment.   Par...
