You continue to inspire in so many ways, and I can think of no one more worthy of the health you are now enjoying, and will continue to do enjoy for many years!

From Dec to May I went thru chemo and radiation. It took me until I finished to stop and realise that now I was “on my own” and had to deal with more of the feelings. I thankyou as I haven’t gotten into a group. You so aptly described much of what I went thru. It was helpful to hear what you felt and how you expressed it. It is as if once you have gone thru it you speak a language that is shared by other surviors.

Especially, choosing to live and to enjoy each day for the pleasures of being alive and seeing beauty in so many things.

Thank you for sharing, I appreciated it very much.

What a blessing you are to others who will be faced with a similar journey. I went through this myself over 5 years ago with the same wonderful Mayo staff / Dr. Northfelt. I know your story would have made the journey even that much easier. I wish you continued health and my sincere thanks for allowing yourself to be so vunerable in showing others what the experience is really like.
