The "C" word!

Been working a lot this winter, even though it's supposed to be my 'slow' season.  One thing that is different this year is that I have been diagnosed with Cancer.  There, I said it!  The 'C' word!  Feeling really good!  Worked a lot last year doing what I loved.  Kept complaining to my doctor that it felt hard to swallow!  Did tests...nothing..told me I had allergies, maybe?  Kept telling them that I feel SOMETHING!  When I swallow and tend to loose my voice, although if you know me, that's not such a bad thing!  Finally they do a test.  NOTHING!  But, I insist they dig deeper...and they do.  So Thanksgiving weekend, they tell me I have CANCER...the 'C' word!  Didn't even know how to process that!  I feel sooo good!  So how can I have that? I don't feel sick so how can I be sick?   Turns out that I have thyroid cancer, known as the 'good' cancer since you don't die from it!  Okay, so now what?  I had my thyroid removed.  Luckily, it didn't spread since I got it so early.  Now just have to adjust to taking a little colored pill every morning.  That's been weird for me since I typically don't even take advil or any of the allergy meds that my doctor would like to see me take.  Didn't share any of this until I was sure of how it would all affect my photography life.  You know what?  It has, but only for the better!  It's increased my awareness for peoples lives and thoughts.  And from here I learned.
