Hi Denise,

I can relate to your anger in the moments you were posting yesterday. It’s frightening (and unfair) that cancer, its severity and mortality are all so random in our lives and around us. This anger can feel intense, and can even percolate under the surface for a long time.

You are doing amazing things to try to take control of what you can, and to ensure, to whatever degree possible, that you will reach the goal you wrote about in what was the first post of yours that I read, of being present, as healthy as possible and a resource in your daughter’s life for as long as possible. My kudos to you for stepping up this way. I hope that your actions bring you some comfort or at least temporary respite from the anger, fear and any discomfort or pain you experience.

With gratitude,

Gynosaur
