Some of us Cancer Cub gals got together tonight for cocktails and a send-off for those of us that will be doing the Breast Cancer 3-Day walk this year. The group has been whittled down to 2 in this pic. But, that's not gonna stop the rest of us from being present as much as we can to support and bring them really good support, food anddrink ... when necessary.
We had a wonderful night of reflection. We had a wonderful night of laughs. We're all moving on. In big, big ways.
Our E-Beth has taken the brave step in choosing to do a stem cell transplant. This will happen very, very soon. If anyone can make it through this, it'd be this gal. Stem cell transplants are a beast. They are the "Hail Mary" of treatments as many oncologists have said. And many oncologist would rather NOT have their patients go through this treatment. But, that girl is a warrior. She is choosing to fight as such. It will be a long and arduous several months for her and her family, as she'll be away from her husband and children. Several thousand miles away, that is. But, in the end, she's fighting to see those amazing kids grow up and become brilliant adults.
I have MORE than an inkling that she's gonna be there to see her grandchildren pooping in their hands and wiping it on the walls.
She's defied the odds more than I can tell you.
All my love and strength to you, sweet girl.
And all my love and toenail strength to Carol and Luchie during the 3-Day walk. You are amazing women.
xoxo
Anna
