21 year remission anniversary

My chemo cycles were three weeks long. After a treatment I was so weak that I left the hospital in a wheelchair. The next day, a walk up and down our the short block could take a half an hour. One foot in front of the other... steady steady, come home soon to rest. 

But then I'd get stronger, day by day, until the next treatment. 

The day before the next treatment I would go for long hikes... one foot in front of the other for as many miles as I could.

It's 21 years today since I went into remission. My dad and I hiked a section of The Long Path a year and a half ago. Today I pick up from where we left off and see how far I go. One foot in front of the other.
