I’ve been overwhelmed by the affection of friends who’ve shared my anguish and reached out to support and comfort me with their emails, phone calls, vibes and prayers. I have had support from close friends, old friends, distant friends, almost forgotten friends, friends of friends and even virtual friends. There were times I answered the phone in despair and hung up in a spirit of hope and optimism.
For the women who’ve been through cancer and emerged healthy, thank you for your stories – each one serves to strengthen me because you’ve helped me to realize that it’s not only possible to survive but, as you exemplify, also return to a healthy and active life. Sharing your experiences makes me feel as if I’ve qualified for admission into a special club, which more and more women over time seem to be joining – it’s almost like a rite of passage.
