Day 87 The Rest of My Life

So, I am definitely out of the pain week and although my voice is still just a strained whisper, my throat feels pretty good. It looks like I will be cutting back to Advil only, a big step in my recovery and just in time for Thanksgiving vacation.
It is amazing how fast my "cancer life" is fading and just as quickly as I adapted to the zapper routine, I have put it behind me.
I have started planning a new exercise routine and have a goal of running two miles by 12/9 which is my next oncology appt. I feel like I have to prove to Dr. S. that I am a healthy person and didn't deserve to get this cancer.
Good nutrition, exercise and a life that is emotionally and spiritually fulfilled does not guarantee that illness will not be present. That is a paraphrase from the 7 steps to healing tapes that I have been listening to. I know that some people hold on to the theory that you can live your life as healthy as possible and still get cancer or still get hit by a bus, or the ones that say my grandmother smoked until she was 100 years old.
I think I will stick with the mainstream medical advice that says a healthy lifestyle will certainly give you the best chance at a healthier, longer life.
More years to our life and more life to our years.
