Time to move on...

This will be my last blog...

As time elapsed since my prognostic of Pancreatic Cancer, I've made a long way in recovery and awareness of our Ontario medical system.

God forbid, you always have to be on top of your medical team and you have to read on and on about your particular ailment as the information is not readily available. Gladly I did recover with the help of my medical team but for the past 2 years, I've been lied to, been ignored, been numbered, etc etc.

Having cancer (regardless of its name) is an ugly thing. They scare you with their stats and their technique are somewhat questionable at best. They administer you with chemo drugs made to kill a cow and although you have all of the side effects, they only tell you "its normal".

I have made a recovery of my cancer in November 08 and now 2 years later from the onset, I still cannot resume to my past life with the things that made me whom I am. Sometimes one can only feel like a zombie killing time. I have not recovered my strenght and I do realise that I have been beaten up badly. It is good however to have a wonderful better half who can bring me back to reality.

My doctor does not and will not sign my "bill of good health" until I can prove that I have recovered fully and can manage my home life first for a period of time. It is what it is.

Having said that, this is my last update to my blog and I would like to express a mountain of gratitude to everyone who has followed me, encouraged me and have taken hope from what I wrote from time to time either on my blog or my website www.micheleo.sitegoz.com. I will resume to my previous life even if it has been altered with pain and fatigue.

For all my friends (many) out there with cancer, I wish you a promtp and full recovery. Please take patience to what is happening to you and your families. Understand the meaning of each words that you do not understand and make sure you get clarification. It is important that you take this very seriously. GOD BLESS

So to all, farewell.... Tis for now/ciao/MLB
