The journey continues.
In 2018 when I learned that my cancer returned, I decided that I was going to share my journey with others so they can try to understand the mind of a person who was going through a fight for life.

Have you ever felt some eyes watching you? As I sat at my computer preparing to write this column I could feel a set of eyes staring me down.
