I know the reality of my situation really well and what my options are. If anything, it's good for everyone to be reminded of how precious and fragile life is. (And yet, how strong the will to live can be as well...) Posts like yours remind us that chemo and radiation are simply not good enough.
And now, as a fighter jet flies overhead - presumably heading out from nearby Hanscom, possibly to New York (they've already sent planes from Otis AFB on Cape Cod) I mourn for those who saw the sun rise for the last time this morning. lots of love Anne
