Cancer.....

I just stumbled across the blog My Cancer, written by journalist Leroy Sievers about his struggle with a brain tumor and lung cancer. He lost the battle just three days ago. His last post was just two days before his death.

What a gift, to be able to express yourself until the bitter end.
A gift to yourself, to your family and to your friends.

Having nursed Paul until his final hour, and watching mum nurse John until the end of his days, the memories of cancer will stay embedded in my mind forever. I'm sure there are more to come.....

But to be able to follow that person through their journey, what a gift. What a privilege to be able to write along the path .....
