A JOURNEY OF A DIFFERENT KIND

The first time I lost my hair from chemotherapy. My daughter cut me a cute mohawk…before shaving it off.

The second time my cancer came back….she made me up to be Goth. Scary isn’t it?

I started this blog to document the dying coral reef around the world, and find areas where the reef is surviving. However, this became my travel blog.

Over the last 2 years, I made a journey that I never wanted to make…..cancer treatment and bone marrow transplant.

Making this journey, from an interesting perspective as a past oncology nurse, there were times I wondered if a little ignorance might be bliss?

Enduring those procedures to save my life…. (scans, biopsies, multiple chemotherapy, spinal tap and so forth), in those worse moments…I imagined jumping into that clear, healing water of the Carribean. It refreshes and washes away fear.

I am leaving this week to spend a month in the Mexican Carribean…. Going to Puerto Morales, Mx.

I’ll celebrate one year from my bone marrow transplant, in remission.
