Journal Entry for October 3, 2008 Mood
Friday, October 3, 2008 | A General Update story

It's been a long time since I've been on here.  When we found more cancer last November, I was told we were going to wait on surgery - we are still waiting.  I have been seeking a second opinion and I have an ultrasound scheduled for today.  I guess when they kept putting it off, I decided I had to just get on with my life.  I decided I can't sit around and think about cancer all the time.  We went on a trip to Russia, we had a family reunion, I had a great summer with my son.  So I'm glad we put everything off in a way.  In a way, though, waiting on cancer has colored the rest of my year - I just feel like my whole life is about waiting on having surgery, waiting to have my sternum fixed, waiting on my life to start again.  It's funny - when you have cancer, your life stops, but everyone else around you gets to keep moving, keep going.  It almost makes you feel invisible.  

Anyway, I'll update when I figure out what's going on in my life.
