Part of my ongoing cancer series.
Last time I saw my oncologist he asked how I'm doing and I said I'm in pain every day, he said so your doing fine. I get annoyed when doctors ignore it when I tell them I've spent years sick or in pain. There's no sense of quality of life just keep the body alive. Even if your in pain you still need to do more than just survive but also live. Talking with other cancer patients I think you get that sense more than when talking to doctors. The feeling that you can not only endure but be happy at the same time. That no matter what your going through you can make it better by the way you live your life. It's some thing I'm still working on. I think one of the things that will help me is to help others, I want to use this cancer series to create a book to raise awareness about cancer to help start a dialogue with cancer patients and survivors but also with doctors and nurses to help them have a better understanding for the need of sympathetic care for patients. I also want to sell the book to help raise money for cancer charity and hope that this series can help someone. The idea of curing cancer may seem daunting to some to the point where they won't bother to try but if you think about just helping just one person, perhaps with just an act of kindness that too makes a difference.
I have some fellow light painters who joined me to collect light paintings for a book. If your interested in light paintings or just want to see how we decided to help people with cancer than check out this group Shining Light on Cancer. Thanks.
If your a light painter or interested in light painting check out this new light painting group Shining Light on Cancer. Thanks.
