stuart scott has passed on. a good place to start reading about him is here: http://espn.go.com/espn/story/_/id/12118296/stuart-scott-espn-anchor-dies-age-49
i looked up and down on different sites to see what kind of cancer he had, the same way i looked to see what kind of lymphoma jacqueline kennedy had. it's sad that he fought the beast three times, until he succumbed to it. it must be so hard to spend your time fighting, instead of living. i do like what he said, at the end of his life:
"when you die, it does not mean that you lose to cancer. you beat cancer by how you live, why you live, and in the manner in which you live."
there was a time you didn't know where stuart scott was in his fight with cancer. i have status updates, and a blog, and a little bit of poetry about it on g+. i think there's a type of dignity one has with battling cancer privately.... a dignity i don't have, i guess.
always the blabbermouth.
i thought all i was going to do was have a meeting with my oncologist on thursday. i just got a phone call. i get a pet scan on friday, and a follow up exam with the radiologist on the 15. just like that my whole week changes, and i have to work after i have the pet scan. that should be an interesting day.
so, a bit of suspense has been added, where just days ago there was none.
to be continued
