Friends...

Yes, cancer sucks. Yes, the treatment is not at all pleasant. But, some good stuff comes out of it. Over the weekend, I attended a party with a group of people I met through "Cancer to 5K" (the running group for cancer survivors.) At work today, I met a guy who had heard about me and his mother is about to start chemo and he just wanted to talk to someone. After work, I went shopping with a friend of a friend who has started chemo.

I would not have met any of these people, had my disease never come about. It makes it a little easier to deal with...
