First stretch

This blog is about living well and to the fullest, but nothing prepares you better for that than pondering life coming to an end ie death.. For eons philosophers have been struggling to understand it and to overcome its gripping fear. Years after starting a hospice and caring for countless patients facing death or skirting around its edges, I came across the printed words of an earlier mentor, Dr. Elizabeth Kubler Ross.

If cancer has announced YOUR bell lap, what will you do? No one enters a race to lose, yet some in the human race collapse on the track when the bell rings, or they just turn tail and take off in the wrong direction. This book is not about them. It's about those who set out to win, not just in terms of health, but also in life.

Because there is always a Dragon behind the door and it will always be sniping at you, identifying it and keeping it at bay during treatment must receive your full attention

There are hosts of half comprehended, faulty Dragon inspired notions that float around the minds of the afflicted, often taking up residence unchallenged, only to haunt quiet times and steal joy. I want to flush out each one so as to cut it down to size and overcome it with truth. There is life after cancer. There is life with cancer. But you have to defeat the Dragon who would tell you otherwise to really experience both.
