It’s still very surreal. When I hear the music it seems like everything is normal, but then Rush isn’t there. Ever again. Truly grieving.
I just wanted to say that it’s difficult sometimes to understand how cancer works. There is always could have, would have, should have. Maybe there would have been early detection if Rush had had CT’s earlier, but maybe not. There is always a risk with CT radiation to actually increase the chances of cancer.
I’m not saying it’s victim blaming, but most people do the best they can and when the worst happens, all you can do is support them. In this case, the memories of Rush and all he accomplished is enough. God bless him, and his family and all who knew him as we continue to walk through this tremendous loss.
Next thing I know he refers me to a Hematologist. Found out he was actually a Hematologist / Oncologist.
Turns out I was diagnosed with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia. Probably had it for two years until I noticed anything. Cancer can sneak up on you, even when you get yearly Physicals.
