The Month Ends. The Mission Doesn’t.
Today is the last day of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and Lymphoma Awareness Month.
When September started, I thought I would be finishing my treatment by now. But things didn’t go exactly the way we planned.
My treatment was delayed. My numbers needed more time to recover. I got COVID. There were some really good days and there were some days that were pretty hard.
But I kept going.
This month, I’ve shared some of my journey through my Mission Briefs because I wanted people to see what childhood cancer can really look like. It’s not just chemo and hospital visits. It’s school, family, friends, medicine, bloodwork, waiting, setbacks, good days, bad days and still trying to be a regular kid through all of it.
I’ve learned that I can’t control everything that happens during this journey.
But I can control how I respond to it.
Childhood Cancer Awareness Month ends tonight.
Childhood cancer doesn’t.
There are still kids fighting. There are still families waiting for answers. There are still treatments happening tomorrow. And my mission isn’t finished yet either.
I’m not at the finish line yet.
But I’m closer than I was when I started.
Thank you to everybody who has prayed for me, encouraged me, sent me something, checked on me, watched my Mission Briefs or just reminded me that I’m not doing this alone.
September may be over...
but the mission continues. 💜💚💛
