Last year I wrote about a young woman I met who'd sent me a quilt with lots of pink ribbons on it. I didn't really appreciate the quilt until we talked and she explained that three years before she'd been diagnosed with DCIS at 32 and how she saw power in the ribbon. After the DCIS she went on to have a beautiful baby girl and she felt like her life was hers again.
Yesterday she was diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer.
I don't get it. I just don't.

In August, 2007 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Then, in September, 2008, I was diagnosed with Sarcoidosis. In an effort to keep my friends and family updated as I go through the process of discovery and treatment, I am using this blog to track what is happening both academically and personally. My hope is that this will keep those I love informed and updated and, perhaps, help others who may be facing a similar diagnosis.

I still "owe" you a call. Have been busy helping a woman who has been diagnosed with breast cancer on both sides. Her surgery was this morning. I'll get ahold of you soon!
oh, that's just terrible! i don't understand it either why this friend of yours has to go through something else!
