15 Down - 18 to Go!

Things continue to move along. Last Saturday, we celebrated a beautiful event with a very special friend, her family, and community, and it was life affirming. Not only did I see people I haven't seen in years, but the sense of love and family was awesome. It was a wonderful evening!

Today was the first day of radiation where someone was there for an emergency treatment. Turned out this young woman was experiencing bone metastises from breast cancer and in severe pain. The whole thing was depressing. A group of us sitting in a room and not being able to avoid hearing her tell her companion about her experience. It shakes you to the core, but makes you feel so lucky it's not you. However, it does remind you of your mortality for sure.

Just checking in to see how you were doing with the radiation phase of your treatments. Hang in there and know you are in my thoughts and prayers!
