Yesterday, I visited with a young man starting 5 days of
chemo. As I talked to him and his
parents, I kept thinking how cancer is a family affair. I walked to the parking garage with a
minister who’d been visiting a parishioner, and as I left him at the elevator, I
thought we don’t do cancer alone. Today,
I have early labs and then will meet with my oncologist mid-afternoon to discuss
my cancer markers. MaryBeth woke early
and asks, “You see your oncologist today right, you okay?” I said yea, I’m in a
good place. A few minutes later she
said, “We’re dealing better with OUR cancer”, and I agreed, for you don’t do
cancer alone! Connectedness is powerful
medicine!
