Millimeter-by-millimeter your life can change in a second. Surprises sneak in and change the direction of your thoughts. What you thought you knew becomes irrelevant. Cancer was a bump in the road, a pretty big bump. I traveled through a 14-month journey with cancer as a constant internal companion. The cancer is not as strong as I am. Through the treatments and while on hospice care, I continued to attend college, positively encourage others to reach for their dreams, advocate for animals and I continued living. Cancer fighting takes more than doctors, medications, chemotherapy, radiation, etc. It also takes laughter and staying at the party until the last cocktail is served
