Late October 2008, my sister Patty was diagnosed with breast cancer. She went through her chemo and radiation in November, December, January and February. Mom and I were able to be there with her during her initial surgery and her first 2 rounds of chemo. What a whirlwind and what a warrior she is. She sailed, as she always does, and made it through with her optimisim, her laughter, her gentle spirit but not her hair ! Its now September so she has been finished with her "medical part" for 1/2 a year ! She still has all her great personality and now is getting some hair. She is 18 years younger than I am and she is filled with such an accepting attitude. She once said in advising me of some of my frustrations with life, "Follow directions and just keep moving even if you don't like it." Patty's quote. It is that easy for her I guess. I'm glad she said those words to me. That quote has gotten me through many troubled times. She's a keeper!
