You've probably wondered . . .

You've probably wondered just what happened to me when I disappeared with no word to you. Several months ago, I started to feel really exhausted all the time and just generally "unwell". After a long time of trying to figure out what was wrong with me, I was finally diagnosed with lung cancer. It's surely not a diagnosis that anyone would welcome but it isn't the end of the world either.

After all of the tests were completed and I knew where I stand, I decided to start a new blog to chronical what's happening to me. The new blog, "Never Say Die" . . . Living with Lung Cancer, has three goals:

1. To keep my friends and family informed of what's going on with my treatment and how I'm progressing.
2. To allow me to express my thoughts and feelings about being a cancer patient.
3. To help other cancer patients, even if it's just to let them know they aren't alone.

There will probably not be any further entries in this blog ~ at least for the time being ~ as I concentrate my efforts on getting well. If you want to follow the new blog, you can find it here: http://fightingforyourlife.blogspot.com. Despite what the link would indicate, this is not a gloom and doom journal. Those of you who have been familiar with this blog know that isn't my style. Hopefully , some of the messages will have value to you whether you suffer from a major illness or are just making your way through life. I urge you to check it out.

But, whatever the case, I thank you for reading Northern Reflections and I'm sorry I can't continue with it right now. I've enjoyed sharing my thoughts with you and I hope you picked up some valuable tidbits along the way.

My love to you all.
