Follow Up Cancer Care Day

Today is my first cancer follow up care day for 2014. It starts with a 6:15am blood specimen, then a CT scan, chest x-ray, and finally a 1:30pm bone scan. These tests are important for they help us watch the prostate cancer that has metastasized to my lymph nodes. After 7 years of care days each 3-4 months I’ve overcome the nausea of worry, and learned to acknowledge the feelings, but then let go before they get too out of proportion. I truly believe my practice of mindfulness or the moment to moment intention of “living well” maximizes my well-being, creating a healing environment. Practice letting go and watch your life moments fill up.
