Not really with it

Well this has been a very off week for me, normally I can make it through the days as if. You know those days the As if all were well days.For some reason this week has been a very rough one on me and thank goodness Thanksgiving day is my last Chemotherapy treatment for awhile I hope.

Have you ever had one of those days where everything gets on your nerves?
Sure you have but it would have been fine if it had only been one day for me,turns out it has been an entire week. My best friend had no problems pointing it out to me yesterday and even though she means well I am sure I will hear about it for the next few days. Anyway I had mentioned that you will never know what you will find on my blog page, from the ramblings of an off day to the harsh reality or living with Cancer.

This time I would like to talk about how amazing children living with cancer are. Every week my faithful side kick and myself visit the childrens ward at the cancer care center and it never seems to amaze me how much strength they really have and how one would think that it is the parents holding things together,but you would be surprisingly wrong when it comes to an 11 year old I met on Monday.

He was so strong for his family and he was more worried about his little brother than himself. I over heard David talking with his doctor and saying how he was going to get this beat the odds of Acute lymphoblastic leukemia so no one else's little brothers would have to put their life on hold..

David asked how he could become an oncologist, and find a cure that would put all of his family at ease. I really could not believe what I was hearing an 11 year old that wants to find a cure just so his family no longer had to suffer.

Hearing him speak to his doctor really opened my eyes to what a jerk I have been all week, and the selfishness that had over come me of asking why is this not in remission after two years of treatments. Some how this week I had forgotten how to live and help others and it took David to bring me back to reality of the devastating effects Cancer has on a family.
