My friend Sara called me yeaterday afternoon to come over for a drink. She had gotten back from her annual appointment with her onocologist. Good news!
She's STILL cancer-free.
Twenty years ago, she had breast cancer. Ten years ago, she had ovarian cancer. Two cancers, both caught early, both treated agressively, and she's STILL cancer-free!!
Believe me, THAT is something to celebrate.
What does it mean to me?
I only met Sara seven years ago. It means that if she haden't been smart enough to know there was something going on, if she hadn't been smart enough to go in, get diagnosed, and follow the doctors' orders regarding treatment, I wouldn't have a best friend to cook with, to drink with, to laugh with.
Sara and I celebrated last night. I'm still a bit queasy this morning, but it is well worth it!
Late March, early April next year, I want to get drunk and celebrate Sara again!
