"I'm a dentist, son, father, brother, cancer survivor, cancer counsellor, patient advocate, friend and a very good listener." Your words my friend, you have no idea how many people have read and felt your presence, or the impact that you have had on us suffering souls that come together, the vast majority of us in silence, seeking words such as yours. The fear of the unknown can and is crippling to most, but a very select few lead the way and share in their experience so some of us less dynamic personalities can be at peace with our burdens. All of us are scared, fear is a part of our new norm. It's how we handle the fear and channel our energies that decides the quality of our time. You my friend are in my thoughts and well wishes, be as strong and courageous as you have been, please do not change. We all share in each others circumstance of fate.
