NO EVIDENCE OF CANCER! :-)

“Many dreams come true, and some have silver linings

I live for my dream, and a pocket full of gold.”

Led Zeppelin, Over the Hills and Far Away

It’s still me, Julie. It’s true – as of today I have ZERO evidence of cancer! Trying to process my feelings today has been a nice assorted mix of relief, pure joy, wondering when I’d start worrying about the six-month scan, and feeling so….

I couldn’t place the word.

I mean, what’s the proper word for this new feeling I have while I truly enter my recovery phase? Camp Kickass was an intense 9 months of work – with so many good doobies sharing their love and light in different ways for the long haul. And we can celebrate this milestone as a group (even though many of us don’t know one another) because you’re a group of dedicated, invested, caring, compassionate, empathetic(,) and engaged humans. Like I said: good doobies!

But it’s hard to describe what it’s been like to be at the center of / a recipient of that energy. And then a Led Zeppelin song came on and said it for me (see quote at top). But the gold is us – and the ways that people engage to be more connected and kind.

We’ll continue to do updates in six months, etc. In the meantime I’ll be publishing a different blog here in the coming month to process and explore what I learned these past 9 months. Until then, thank you for being you! – Julie, Randy and Alvin
