Memoir of a Hollow Man |
My name is Dave Cashen and I am a hollow man. On May 30, 2011 my life changed forever due to cancer...and this is my story. My most recent happenings appear at the top, but for my journey to read in it's entirety, it is best to begin with my first posting. To find it, scroll down the page, then click the arrow at the bottom to 'page back' until you can't go any further and you see my first post "How I Got Here". Click the link "About Me" to learn more about myself and the reasons why I felt I needed to share my story. |

Notes And So A New Chapter Begins….This is the beginning of a new chapter in my life, the one I’ve been waiting for. It has felt like an eternity, but since this chapters begun, I can say its been was well worth the wait. As we know, a new chapter can only begin if another chapter ends, unless of course it’s the first chapter, which most of us are well past. However, the chapter I’m about to close could be considered the first chapter of my new altered state of life. It was by far the most challenging in my life and truthfully it will forever shape any and all future chapters. To have two first chapters in one’s life doesn’t happen very often, and I feel fortunate to have been given the chance to start over…no matter how hard it’s been.
