Monday morning, first post

Posted on

It finally hit me last night — the fear. I suppose that it had to, eventually. I spent a lot of the week in a combination of denial and optimism. Too much was happening at once, and it takes a while for you to realize that “You have cancer” means that “You have cancer.”

All the books arrive from Amazon.com, and the hats are ordered (thanks for the link, Gail!). But what next? There are always things to do. Real life keeps happening, and teeth must be brushed and cats must be fed.

  2. Patti has a whole team fighting for her, along with her blog buddies and her handsome husband she is in fine hands indeed.

    We love that girl!

  3. Fear is nature’s reassurance that you haven’t given up. And to build on Hap’s observation, fear becomes dangerous only when that’s all there is.

    I appreciate your transparency.

  4. “You have cancer,” however, does not equal “cancer has you.”

    I realize it may sound silly to yell at a disease that “You’re not the boss of me!” but it’s an attitude worth cultivating.
