Anne-Marie,

That was such a nice act by that man you encountered at your radiation treatment! It's like we're all in this war together. Some of us are veterans and others are just entering their first battle. We all have such a strong bond and unspoken connection because of this disease.

I won't ask who it was, but I am curious to know if you ever crossed paths with this man on OCF. Now, that would be cool!

BTW, great sharing from everyone here. I'm so grateful that we have come together in solidarity to fight OC and support one another. I can't say enough! Thank you, Brian Hill for founding this organization!
