Journal entry by Katie Masog —
The port served Adam well, throughout his treatment, but now it's time to say goodbye 👋 GOOD RIDDANCE!!
Before he went into surgery, someone asked Adam “if you could give three pieces of advice to other young adults going thru what you have been thru, what would you say?”
He took a few minutes to think about the question and here is what he said:
1) Always keep a smile on your face.
2) Always listen to your Mom.
3) Build good friendships because your friends will help you get thru the hard times and keep you in check.
I loved that she asked this question and Adam shared his wisdom 💛🎗️💛
As a mom, sometimes I don’t want my kids to grow up. But my views have changed. I am so excited to watch my kids grow. To live another day, months and years. To go to college, get married, have children and enjoy a long life.
When you’ve witnessed your child do everything he’s told to do, to save his life from the cancer beast with no boundaries, your mind begins to wander and wonder how much time?
Throughout our journey, this was an awful way to live but a beautiful way to experience life.
Scans have been scheduled for the last week of June. Until then, I have turned my energy to walking again and hope to complete a walking half marathon in September! I love to walk and I think the marathon is a good resemblance of the past ten months of our lives. But this time, I will be ready.
Forever grateful
♥️, Katie
