I was playing tennis with a lady that I occaisionally play with after my treatments were done. We got to talking about my cancer and being stage IV. She said "At least you know how you are going to die, I've always wondered how I would die". I don't think she meant to be mean, in fact we were able to get into a frank discussion about death and facing death. That is something not many people around me wanted to talk about at the time. I actually appreciated her giving me an opportunity to vent my fears and listen to me..sherryg
