The best thing about visiting Cancerland is that you get to meet really wonderful people. Among the special people that have been added to my life is the other survivors from breastcancer.org who let me join their Race for the Cure team - Wings of Hope. I wrote about Fred and Neesie last week - Fred's suffering came to an end at the end of the week.
Today was the visitation - 4 of us from the team went, and another survivor who is a dear friend of Neesie's flew in from North Carolina to be there. She cried when she saw us.
This is so unfair - they were only married 8 years - he adopted her kids, and their newest granddaughter was born Monday. So her son couldn't even come to the funeral.
When I got home, my friend Melinda from YSC called to wish Terry good luck in his final chemo. She had a rough weekend. One of her best friends, who is the same age as she is, was diagnosed with brain mets on Friday. She is devastated.
Caring about people can be so hard sometimes.
