What inspiring stories, Johanna and Jackie! It reminded me that I too got my doctorate in psychology after my first round of cancer. My husband always said the first cancer slowed me down just long enough to go for the doctorate, and the second mets slowed me down enough to write a book on marriage with him. I did finally retire from active practice, but I am still writing and doing all kinds of artistic things after my third mets in 2004. I think it is all part of the healing process and has been a blessing to me. I am so impressed by all the women on this website who are active in so many ways, physically, mentally and spiritually. I am proud to know you all! Hugs, Tricia
