I’m not one to give or accept excuses. When I say I’m going to do something, I do it. That’s why it pains me to say this, but I’m not going to be able to write articles for this blog as regularly as I would like for the year of 2021.
Here’s my excuse. It’s a good one, but it’s still an excuse, which rankles me.
I was recently diagnosed with Stage 3C Aggressive Ductal Breast Cancer.
No, this isn’t an April Fools joke. I just thought my readers deserve to know. Here’s the good news:
- I have one of the better cancer teams in Omaha (which also means within a two state radius).
- This cancer is very common and there’s tons of new research on it every day.
- I’m relatively young and healthy.
All that being said, I’m not worried for myself. It’s just going to be a hard road for the rest of the calendar year. I’m going to have to give myself the grace of having as few deadlines as possible.
Based on what the doctors are telling me, my treatment plan should last until right around December of this year. After I’m done with the plan, I should be cured.
The doctors said that I should still be able to keep my regular lesson schedule. Most people work full time while they’re dealing with this kind of disease. It will be a long, hard road, but I’ll come through it with flying colors, like I always do. Maybe it will give me a different perspective which I can pass on to you.
