Hi all,

I just returned from my 18th radiation almost the half way mark!

This may be long but ill try to shorten it a bit.

Yesterday i walked in the cancer center and wasnt in the best of

spirits..sat down alone against the wall and the only other person

in the room was this woman who looked so much like my grandmother

whom i was so very close to that died 15 years ago. She looked over

at me from across the room as i looked at her. Tears started to

swell as gawd i would love my grandma whom we called Litzie to be

here if just for a moment to give her a hug. The woman said nothing

and i said " how are you doing over there " as she was against the

opposite wall across the room. Was just her and i in a room that was

usually crowded. She said in the most precious voice..so sweet..im

trying to stay positive if this wig would just sit on my head

right!! Then she giggled but i could sense her nervousness. Then my

name was called in the room and she said good luck to you as i left.

Well when i was finished there she still sat in that corner alone. I

put my purse down and walked over to her she said " oh are you

alright " not knowing why i was approaching her. I said i will be

once i give you a big hug. She held on to me then when she let go i

said to her that her voice is so sweet and soothing that she

reminded me of my grandma. Her reply to me was " yes my voice is

like a little girls and i feel like i am that little girl many years

ago still inside as i sit here and beg for God's mercy. I was so

touched. She told me about her lung cancer that was cleared just

finished chemo and that now they have to radiate her brain for fear

of mets. She listened to my words so intently...she was about 75

years old. told me as i left i hope we see each other again.

TOday i went in for my appt. and there she sat in the same spot. She

looked at me with those eyes almost like a little girl needing

comfort so i got up and sat with her. She was hooked to an oxygen

machine and she said to me " im not alright " i said " ohh " and then

said " but i will be once you give me a hug " !! The same words i had

said to her the day b4...I hate this disease but i am so grateful to

meeting these woman having the human connection from the inside that

wouldnt have ever happened. I dont think about material things or

traffic or trivial crap its like a different reality has been opened

up to me to experience. Perhaps this is silver lining around this

dark cloud...take care all hugs kassy

Could not have said it better..... a silver lining around a dark cloud. I feel

that way. I have heard some say (and they are entitled to how they feel and what

they say) that having breast cancer is the best the thing that ever happened to

them. I could not agree with that even though many good things have come from

this illness for me, but the silver lining in a dark cloud makes so much more

sense and really says what I feel. I, too, have had many touching moments like

the one you had in the last couple days... and those are very uplifting and

precious moments. Thanks for sharing your day with us.

-How touching! Two angels meant to meet each other, for support and

comfort. So sweet Kassy - thanks for sharing that with us.

I am amazed at the friendships that developed during my radiation

treatments. There were a group of 5 of us, who were all there,

every day, at the same approximate time, sharing different kinds of

cancers, different outcomes and prognosis, same fears and concerns.

I've kept in touch with this group - and can imagine that i will

continue to do this for a long time to come. It is indeed, a silver

lining.

Take good care - keep strong - you're half way there!

Wow Kassy, I was there in that room with you, my God, now my eyes will be all

puffy for tap class tomorrow morning.

I miss my grandma too and sometimes I cry when I see really old people. I

want to go up to them and help them with their shopping or when they're getting

into their cars but am afraid that will make them feel helpless. Next time I am

just going to do it. Luv K
