When I heard the doctor tell me he recommended more chemo, my first feeling was disbelief. There was disappointment. There was anger. There was concern about Alexander. There was concern about us being in new surroundings through this, away from family and long time friends. Yet, I noticed something else present that was never there before.
On June 25, 2008, my 13-year-old son and I boarded a plane for Honolulu, Hawaii. For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to live on an island. There is something in my life that I did NOT wish for. I am experiencing cancer for the third time.
