Well, I had a subject for tonight but as the day wore on, I forgot what it was. As they so often say, if you can't remember it, then it just wasn't that important.

A friend called this morning and commented how well I was doing relative to the experiences that friends of his have had with cancer and we ate at a neighbor's house tonight and they had similar comments about people that they've known who have suffered from cancer. And suffer seems to be the operative word here as it relates to the experience of so many others. I have been so fortunate.

I was saying that I really can't share my experience that much because I've never really experienced the experience. But one friend said that I was looking at it the wrong way. I should hold up my experience as the way that it can be if you maintain a positive attitude and never give up the battle. It does not always have to be a torturous path. There can be a better road to follow and others have taken it! I suppose that he's right.

This all sounds so self serving to me as I have done nothing to bring about my condition other than to follow the doctor's orders. I have benefitted from the support of so many others that has now created a debt that I can never hope to repay. It's really been your prayers that have kept me going.

Hopefully, I've successfully backfilled my entry even though I cannot remember what I was initially going to say.

Maybe it will come to me tomorrow...
