I recently had radiation and it was an hour away. My friends met me for breakfast and they all signed my calendar for days they could take me. I had to have 33 treatments and my husband couldn't take that many days off. I cried all weekend having to ask for help. People don't realize how hard it is to ask for help and it's something we really have to learn to do. It's like a life lesson. My daughter said Mom don't you realize that we all want to help and you have never let us! Through this cancer I have learned how much I needed my family and friends. Before this, my goal was to be completlyl independent. I even bought luggage small enough, that if I were ever to travel alone, that I could lift and carry. With the cancer I was compleetely knocked on my butt. I have, had to learn what a blessing and how important freinds and family are and that they really do want to hepl. Not saying I still have conquered this. Patty H
