when I talk to people lately it isn't good news part of the time. I can't take anymore bad news. In the last month and a half I know three people with cancer. They are all at different stages in the process of healing but holy molly!!
My Mom had cancer and God bless her she was truly lucky and she didn't have to have chemo or radiation. It was detected early. Come to find out from the doctor who did my gall bladder surgery, that she is very lucky. She had to have a whipple procedure and only 10% of people who are diagnosed are candidates for the surgery. 10% survive the surgery and of the survivors 10% go five years. It will be four years this month and she is scheduled for an MRI next week. The way things have been going I don't want to know the results.
Each person deals with the situation differently. I am the type of person who loves to help anyway I can. A request was made for chemo cap donations and I sewed 10 of those in an afternoon. While making them I sewed in some good juju for the receipients. When I was purchasing the fabric the lady cutting the fabric asked what I was going to make. I told her chemo caps as per a request from a friend. There was another customer at the cutting table who came out and said "Thanks for doing that, I really appreciate it. I'm a breast cancer survivor for 14 years now." I told her I was glad she was at the store that day.
I'm going to continue to make my chemo caps as my way of dealing with this and continue praying for those who are sick to get well soon. One day at a time.
Sorry for the depressing post but I had to put it down somewhere.
