take a break

After a month of scans and needles ( I only wish I had examined my thoughts as well as they examined my neck ), I have dissenting opinions.
A scan says cured, a bloodtest says no. Rock, Scissors, Paper no use, we wait and then repeat.

I choose cured, although the blood test is accurate, if cancer still exists it is very very small. Cancer casts a harsh glare, there is no sense cowering before it. That said, I am going to take some of my dad’s advice and take February off

I’ll be on my bike or working out, or reading a good book, or head to chef Amaury’s ( see previous post )

It you have read or followed me, thanks — See you in March. I believe in you, and your ability to improve and succeed. As an excellent rugby player told me once, “I cannot run a marathon, but I can always take one more step”.

    I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you. Wishing you a well spent 4 weeks break.

  3. I choose cured too. I very much appreciate having you in my blogosphere and I wish you a wonderful month off! I’ve had a few friends who take February off from various things; some to see if they can, others for a break… after all it is the shortest month!

    be blessed and well

  9. Cured of course..God is the great healer/physician!! take this well deserved time and enjoy life, family and make beautiful precious memories so that when you and Jan are in the winter of your years rocking chairs on the old porch you will have them to talk about and remember.

    Dear Mr. Bill,

    A prescription for healing. Cartwheels might be in order, too. I have a strong feeling that all of your readers will be waiting for you when you return.

    I too, must stand with you, ‘cured’ is a good word! And if you must take some time, you must.
    Will be waiting to see you again come March.

  23. “I choose cured.” I love that. Get out and enjoy the month. I think we ALL should get out and enjoy the month in this spirit.

    In fact, I am going to go play disc golf today in the rain just because I choose cured. Thanks for the inspiration.

  24. no cancer, just a niggly little poem desperate to get out!

  25. emjayzed says:

    I say cured! Take care, Bill…although I see you’ve posted a couple of things before the end of February. I was reading backwards on your posts and ended up here.
