On our last trip to MD Anderson, I found a great little book with lots of advice and meaning in the small gift shop. It is written by Vickie Gerard and is entitled "There's no place like Hope."
The author, a Stage 4 breast cancer survivor and counselor, puts a little humor and encouragement into her writing to help bring a sense of togetherness and knowing that you are not alone in this fight against this terrible disease. I know that this is true, but sometimes you just need to hear it. As a caregiver for someone with cancer, there are a lot of things that you just feel like no one understands, like why you can't make plans, or why plans change. Even close family members who you would think should understand, just don't.
I have to take a minute and say that I am so thankful for a great group of women that I am able to call my friends who do love and support me while going through all of this medical chaos with Robert.
Shout out to Katy, Kelly, Kiera & Tia!! Love you all & thanks for having my back!!
