Chicago Cubs, cancer times two and the little things that matter

My name is Nicholas Blazek. You know me from all the posts I’ve done over the last seven years in my time as a senior site expert. I’m a die-hard Chicago Cubs fan (or else this job wouldn’t be nearly as interesting to me). As some of you know, I’ve been afflicted with cancer not once but twice. Let me tell you; it’s been a hard journey -especially this second time.

The second time around, I started feeling better. I was walking fine and had minimal movement in my right arm. Within a short few weeks, I had no movement in my right arm, and I was using a cane for my right leg.
