This video is the first of a new series chronicling my journey with colon cancer. The finale of my first video series offered an optimistic message that my surgery and chemo treatments would have offered me stable health for many years. After a brief few months, in October 2023 to be exact, my doctors identified two spots in my lungs. This was unexpected and following several tests, they concluded that the disease has returned and spread to my lungs. I am now diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic cancer which is basically a one way street. The good news is that many afflicted with my condition still live very happy and productive lives for many years. So as much as it's a one way street, it can still be a long street and hopefully somewhat scenic!
As of the time of recording this video, I feel good and am in good spirits and one thing that this Cancer 2.0 experience is giving me is an opportunity to reflect further on important things and encouraging me to be creative and engage thoughtfully and even optimistically with the world around me. This video is a part of this new experience.
I am fully intending to grow this series perhaps with a little more vigor and direction than with my first series. I have an awful lot of things swirling inside my head and I'm thinking that it will be good for me to find ways of sharing them.
Take care!
Tom.
