Forward

Thanks for stopping by.

September 27th 2019.

It was 2157 days ago when I was diagnosed with cancer and my journey began. What a journey it would become, it wasn't easy. My life would now be forever changed and I had no idea what my future would hold let alone if I even had a future. 

Today for the last time I have walked out of the Simcoe Muskoka Regional Cancer Centre in Barrie after being discharged by my oncologist. There will be no more bloodwork, scans, exams or appointments.

I am now officially done. 

I am considered cured. 

Back on October 31st, 2013, the thought of living five years cancer free seemed like a lifetime away.

Going forward, I will now attempt to put cancer in my rearview mirror for good, but it won’t be easy. Cancer will now always be a part of my life and I am so grateful that I have made it to this day. 

Sadly, many won’t. 

My journey journal 'Kick'n Ass Cancer's Ass' is a light-hearted account of the challenges that I encountered after hearing those three dreadful words “You have cancer.”
