OK so some might simply say HUH? Are not they the same thing?
Well, NO they are not!
Life is the heart beating and supporting, hopefully, the ability to interact with those around us. Unfortunately not always the case however.
You can have life and you can have a life but there is so much more than that.
Living includes life yes. But Living includes a willingness to involve not just interact.
To be Living the interaction needs to be willful not reactive. Living with involvement covers a choice to b a part of others lives, joining in activities, family, friends, and on occasion strangers.
Intended actions, chosen activities, reading, learning, teaching are examples of Living.
So, even with a life changing condition, Cancer, get out there and continue Living!

I am a retired Controls Engineer, Teacher and Code Officer. While in teaching I worked with students in crisis. This taught me to listen.
Before all that I had Testicular Cancer in 1975 . In both cases I had radiation but for the Prostate it was much more detailed, sophisticated, and focal.
My initial Prostate Cancer, Gleason 9 aggressive, treatment included Radiation and Hormone therapy. I am now on my third round of treatments. Yes the Cancer has returned but no spreading so far. PET scans, bone scans, MRI and lots of xrays under my belt.
Along the way I wrote a book about my Cancer experience, titled the same as this Blog.
I need to share my thoughts on Cancer and life in general.
Life is too precious to spend it angry, in pain, with fear, and doubts.
All I am trying to do is help others with Cancer be better.
