I lost a dear friend Mary who I met when she was diagnosed with a recurrance as I was diagnosed. She was sweet, funny, great dancer, mother of 5 and caring to all she met. Her tumor was located in an inoperable location (very close to her heart) and the chemotherapies (including Herceptin) that they tried just couldn't slow down the progression of the disease. I write this with a heavy heart but with the knowledge that she is at peace now and no longer in the incredible pain she suffered from severe lymphadema.
"True friends come into our lives at special times and stay. We travel separate journeys and cross different bridges with each other's help and with the wonderful feeling that we are not alone. Friendship is a special place...I'm glad we're there." Thank you, Mary.
Peace, Ruth
