So the good and the bad. Life on life's terms. The inevitable fact that the body naturally decays and health issues develop as we age...
Here we go... The bad is that the biopsy returned positive for a spot of cancer on my lip and a pre-cancer on my face. I have an appointment on Tuesday where we will likely have to cut a part of my lip out to keep it from spreading and getting larger.
The good is that it's not a very large spot and we caught it early so it has not spread to my jaw or bloodstream, and there are a couple of treatment options for these two spots.I'm accepting this news with grace and confidence that even though it's the big scary C word, I actually do have cancer on my lip, this shall be taken care of and I'm not vain so a large scar on my lip where they have to take this sucker out does not bother me.I'm not gonna lie, this is a bit frightening.
However, I'm sober, clear-headed and capable of facing this reality, and with my higher power have faith we caught it before it's deadly and that this is a natural part of growing older, and that as long as I am breathing and alive on this planet another day, miracles of healing are always possible and will happen if I only trust and keep faith in the process.
I want to thank each and every one of you beautiful souls who has allowed me space here to share my journey good and bad and has given me encouragement and support along the way. Every comment and every message of love has fueled me in my recovery in all aspects and I want you to know how much I deeply appreciate YOU.
