Thank you for sharing this. I can’t imagine how you must feel. There are always so many things to consider. And we are beautifully human… Your words touched me in surprising ways.
I read this not long after I had a conversation with one of my daughters, who expressed that every time she hears me cough, it triggers a concern. I should say a fear. All I could think of was to hold her closer. When the cancer came back it was in the lungs. I asked my other two children. They experience something similar. A fear that runs underneath, they can seem to shake off.
The other thing is that I am on the CDK 4/6 protocol. I have been on it for 2 years now. For some reason, my mind went to that place. The clock is ticking. I am almost at the median of the statistics. What if in 8 months, it stops working?
Because right now, it works, but how long can my body take it. I just went through a nasty cold and there is not much fight happening in terms of neutrophil.
I reread your article and I also found hope. The hope of transcendent healing. We are humans. We are not just a bunch of cells or just one… We have the power of our thoughts and of our hearts. Life can be transformed in an instant.
Hope connects us to parts of ourselves that can ignite changes. But can also open us to discoveries and lead us on new paths.
It doesn’t matter how much time is left (we will never know how much anyway) what matters is where we stand right now. In that moment anything is possible.
Kristina, meeting you is the highlight of the new year. I have grown a lot since our first contact. You have opened my mind to new perspectives on how to approach cancer and how it impacts the ones I love.
I am so touched by your comment and what you took from this piece of writing. Cancer is such a complex landscape to unpack and everyone has their own perspective. I am hoping and praying that everyone stays healthy and controlling the only thing that I can control. My perspective and my actions. Meeting you has also been a highlight of my year. I had no idea how powerful it would be to meet and interview people for the podcast. I want to meet you and many others in person with whom I now feel a deep connection. Peace to you, Kristina
Throughout my husband's medical issues, I have often wished that I had become a doctor or nurse so that I understood it all better. Reading this, I wonder if you sometimes feel like you know too much. Thank you for sharing your story!

You are right. It is a blessing and a curse. Perhaps mostly a curse!!
