When he was first diagnosed with late-stage, slow-growing cancer, we learned he could expect about two years of life. But Gary stubbornly insisted on living ten years. Ten far-reaching, astonishing years.<\/p>\n<p>I love that I was married to a tenacious man.<\/p>\n<p>There was a day\u2014with chemo still in his system and having lost a good deal of energy and weight\u2014that Gary suggested we\u00a0walk a three-mile loop of the Deschutes River trail as part of our Friday date night.<br \/>\nHe said we could always find a bench to sit on and then turn back if he couldn\u2019t go the distance.<br \/>\nBut we walked the full three miles. Because he was that stubbornly tenacious.<\/p>\n<p>Based on relevant research and years of observations of people under extreme stress, Drs. Douglas Strouse; George S. Everly, Jr. and Dennis McCormack, an early Navy SEAL who later became a psychologist, produced a list of shared characteristics in highly resilient people.<br \/>\nAnd tenacity\u2014an uncommon perseverance, especially in the face of setbacks and discouragement\u2014made the list.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/cancerhopenetwork.org\/connect\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"  wp-image-2328 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cancerhopenetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/match-me2.jpg?resize=248%2C64&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"https:\/\/cancerhopenetwork.org\/matchme.html\" width=\"248\" height=\"64\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nBased on my experience as Gary\u2019s caregiver, here are 5 reasons his uncommon perseverance mattered:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1.\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Tenacity supports quality of life.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no science to prove that our cancer team\u2014good nutrition, increased physical activity, a tenacious attitude, plugging into community, giving back, and our strong faith\u2014extended Gary\u2019s life from the projected two years to ten.<\/p>\n<p>But certainly our cancer team was profoundly instrumental in providing good quality of life. Which was important to the patient as well as his caregiver.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. It encourages healthy risk-taking.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Gary and I stepped out of our comfort zones by establishing a non-profit, writing for grant funding, and sharing at various venues across the country what we were doing to live well with terminal disease.<br \/>\nIt took tenacity to dare imagine there would be an audience for our proactive message, and tenacity to complete the steps to get us there.<br \/>\n<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>3.\u00a0<\/strong><strong>It produces a positive attitude.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My husband didn\u2019t sit around bemoaning the fact that he was going to die of cancer, \u201cthat is, if I don\u2019t get hit by a bus first\u201d (his words, not mine).<\/p>\n<p>His determination to remain proactive helped set the tone in our home.\u00a0We didn\u2019t have our heads buried in the sand; we knew that terminal meant \u2026 well, terminal.<br \/>\nBut while we still had life, we were determined to live it.<br \/>\n<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"  wp-image-3355 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cancerhopenetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/ehope-tenacity-marlys-2.png?resize=538%2C538&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"eHOPE tenacity Marlys 2.png\" width=\"538\" height=\"538\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>4.\u00a0<\/strong><strong>It generates fun and memories.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Gary and I had more fun and created more memories in the cancer years than at any other season of our marriage. It\u2019s because in the earlier years we were too frugal, and too busy saving for\u00a0<em>someday<\/em>.<br \/>\nAnd then cancer knocked on our front door, and even though it insisted on accompanying us, we climbed to the tops of more mountains, and took more road trips, and established a standing Friday date night, and laughed uncontrollably, and explored more places across this great land than at any other time in our marriage.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. It creates hope.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My husband, on a hormone therapy regimen that produced exhaustion, had every reason to sit back in an easy chair and watch other people lead extraordinary lives.<br \/>\nBut he donned hiking boots, and cleats in snow and ice, and turned on the lights in the bill of his cap in the dark early morning hours, and hiked to the top of a small mountain in the middle of our hometown \u2013 two miles round trip, 500\u2032 elevation gain. Every workday morning.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t do 5:30am, but on weekends Gary and I discovered the trails in the nearby Cascade Range. And we became addicted to fresh mountain air, and the smell of pine needles on sunbaked dirt, and the sound of burbling creeks and roaring waterfalls, and the beauty of impossibly tall Oregon trees and startling wildflowers after snowmelt.<\/p>\n<p>My husband\u2019s persistence to live his remaining days well gave me so much hope that maybe he\u2019d live longer than the experts projected.<\/p>\n<p>Which turned out to be exactly the case.<\/p>\n<p>With the completion of radiation and his decision for no more chemotherapy, Gary and I resumed our after-dinner walks through the neighborhood. More slowly than before chemo, but still \u2026<br \/>\nOne early evening we came across this flower growing out of the gutter. Which reminded me of my husband.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3353\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3353\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"  wp-image-3353 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cancerhopenetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/marlys-flower.jpg?resize=310%2C333&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"MARLYS FLOWER.jpg\" width=\"310\" height=\"333\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3353\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Marlys Johnson<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Hanging in there against all odds.<br \/>\nSurviving in limited resources.<br \/>\nDoing what it was created to do,\u00a0even in\u00a0less-than-desirable circumstances.<br \/>\nYep.
