So what now? I have a clean bill of health. I can pack up shop and be done. Go back to my life, my other life, as it were. You know, the one that has nothing to do with cancer. Well, there is no such thing for me. It would appear that it is over, but one thing I have learned this go around, is that it is never over. Fortunately, this time not from a fear place of checking over my shoulder, but from a “This is the fight of my life”, Lance Armstrong-y kind of place. From a it matters too much to me and to future generations for cancer to be a thing of the past to not keep going, not keep sharing, not keep writing and not keep fighting. I am just getting rolling.

Besides, this weekend I got two sets of results. Mine, as you know, were just what I wanted (a bit late for Christmas, a bit early for my birthday, but I will take them as the gift they are). I also got news that was not so fortunate about someone dear to me. Cancer is not going away any time soon, and so neither am I.

I have no intension of putting down my sword, or my pen. Rather I am picking up the torch. The torch of the “obligation to the cure”, the torch of commitment, the torch of love. Love for all the people whose lives are being touched by cancer right now, and love for the people who one day will be touched by cancer. Love for all the friends and family, and love for the future.

Please join me in my fight, keep reading my blog (stay tuned for posts on how to use food to help in the fight), keep forwarding it to the people who might need to rethink their perspective of cancer. Find your own way to fight, for yourself and for others. Let’s show this cancer thing what we are made of.
