After Cancer: A New Day Has Come

This Holiday Season was quite an unusual one, since everything that I had been accustomed to during the Holidays all my life, changed. This year, my Holidays were not spent with a lot of family in the house as usual, but rather with only three people, I included in that mix.

I am spending the winter in Europe and have had some mixed emotions over the last several months on how I feel about this endeavor of mine. It has had it´s pluses and it´s negatives, that is a certainty.

I can´t say that I miss the Canadian snow at all, but I do miss my family and friends who stayed behind.

Along with being in a country where prescription medication laws are not as rigorous as in Canada, comes an opportunity for self medication. That´s what I have been up to and can say that I am doing a great job.. I say this not out of arrogance, but out of hope and joy.

You see, that cytomel that I have mentioned is an over the counter medication here, and it is dirt cheap. I have been taking it for the last few months and feel much much better.

You never know, I might decide to stay.
