It really is amazing to me at the capacity we all have to share our experiences and do some good. I've worked with cancer patients and their caregivers for 35 year and thought I was extremely understanding - until I became one.

We really don't get it until we've been there and I am very grateful for the chance to know all of you and read about your experiences. At the beginning of this process Jack and I felt totally alone but that's not the case today. I think by extending ourselves a little bit to others we find out a great deal out about ourselves and what we're capable of. It's very positive and very powerful...an instant bond with others who are in the same boat.

Somewhere along the way we start to care about something other than our own pain and that just helps in general. Thanks for the uplift today.
