One of my hero's is an old volleyball friend. Someone I competed with and against since we were 13. We had been out of touch for years, but she reached out to me as soon as she learned about my diagnosis.
I was grateful to be able to ask her candid questions about treatment options, reconstruction, mothering during cancer.
You see she went down the cancer path before me - and without me.
Until now.
As she tells it, cancer is coming back for round 2.
Her message to me was full of bossiness:
"I am not looking at the averages which says 4 years because let's be realistic, we are way above average. I look forward to kicking ass together and telling stories of remember when years down the road.
I love you."
And heart.
And I am lucky to be in her company.
