You are so brave. So many ups and downs to navigate. We are praying for a sense of deep peace, like the warmth of the blanket while on the scan table.

Good morning. I just read this post in the stillness and quiet before dawn. The quarter moon shining in the inky darkness through the bare branches of the tree outside my window.

I am hurrying to prepare for the day ahead. The 7:45 am Service. Holy Eucharist or more simply, Thanksgiving, and I am mindful I do not have the time to write all that comes to mind.

The gamble, "Go to a land I will show you . . . ." The gamble. L says, "We're never more alive than we we're taking a risk." And, by the way, she loved her recent time with you.

Hello. My first post here. I read an Advanced Reader Copy of your book and can't stop thinking about it. My mother had three primary cancers (two breast, one ovarian). The latter was Stage 4 but she went into remission for seven years, and survived for three even when it came back. She was one of the toughest people I know, but she rarely talked about her illness. As I read your book, I wonder what she thought. Did she contemplate issues the way you did? I know she would have loved your story. She always shared such things with me even though she knew I'd cry over all of them.

I will keep sending good thoughts your way and hope that Minnie does her best magic. Hugs and hopes for continued strength and serenity, as well as the ability to laugh at the absurdity of it all, sometimes. I'd like to think we'd be friends if our paths crossed; your book will only add to the army of those pulling for you with all their might. Take care!

The ups and downs are always a roller coaster with this evil disease and scanxiety is awful. CEA coming down is a good sign! Better down than up! Thank you for sharing and your courage.
