Test post

Test post of various things:

Pull Quote:
The last 21 months have been hard. Lindsey and I were literally going to start trying for kid #2 the weekend I was diagnosed. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about cancer or the fact that growing my family may not be possible. Part of that is my own doing as I’m active in online colorectal cancer communities. But, I feel a duty as a survivor to share my story to try and assist others through their journey (one of the reasons I write these blog posts). When no news is good news, the only news is bad news. Many survivors disappear into their lives (I get it, why would you not want to try and forget about an awful time in ones life) and the majority of stories being told are the poor outcomes. When no news is good news, the only news is bad news. I remember how uplifting it was to see the stories of others with similar diagnosis that were successfully beating this shitty disease. I want to be that light for others. I do feel some guilt, about feeling upset about our fertility issues. Shouldn’t I just be happy that I’m still alive? That I’m not in active treatment? That my body tolerated treatment so well? That I have a son? That I have a wife? There are so many others that follow similar journeys that are not as fortunate.
