Hi Orna, I’m on the same Blog carnival as you and as I scrolled down the page I saw yours and wanted to read it. I’m new to this Blogging thing and so this is all an adventure for me.In fact, everything is an adventure to me! I too had Cancer- Breast Cancer, going on 7 years ago now. I also lost my 20 year old son on the same day. I used writing to help me heal, as well as main stream medicine(surgery and chemo) and complimentary medicines. It was all a very powerful experience, and if you write then I’d recommend you use it to work through your experiences.there is a lot of evidence out there that supports the idea that certain kinds of writing can boost the immune system. I created an on-line writing course for the College I was working for at the time, using the research I’d done. The results were overwhelming and humbling.
You are absolutely right. The important parts of your life get highlighted when you face death. You realise that connecting with family and opening your heart is on the top of the ‘to do’ List. Once you have dealt with your challenge, as I know you will, you’ll get on with your list.
I am now living in England (I’m an Aussie)in the process of manufacturing a personal development game that I created in the year after I got over chemo. I’ve been here 2 years, even though I only planned to stay 4 months.
I’m over the ‘danger period’ now, but I never take my life for granted. I’m grateful for every new day, every healthy moment. I was always a ‘doer’ and into personal development, so not a lot has changed in the nature of my life. But its that experiential element that cancer brings that changes you for ever. Quality of Life might be a good word for it.
I wish you well on your journey. Write to me if you want or check out my Blog on this carnival http://www.thejourneywoman.info/
Love Nhys
