I meant to include that I'm grateful that breast cancer, as perturbing as it is, is not the assumed death sentence it was in the not too distant past. A friend asked what Olivia Newton-John's death meant to me, having recently had a lumpectomy for breast cancer. I said that aside from the dismay and compassion for the pain and discomfort she suffered, my take-away is that someone can live 30 years after an initial, aggressive cancer and have a life of continuing value! That is not the breast cancer experience I heard about growing up and is already a game-changer. I watched a Netflix feature and the actress Toni Collete revealed a partial mastectomy while changing clothes. It wasn't alluded to, or part of the plot or significant in any way. Just a woman, who'd had to have surgery for something, and otherwise living her life. That is,, cancer was a responsibility to address in a life; but not the life. As with the moderators here dealing with various conditions, some very difficult or limiting, and nonetheless living lives with focus and joy. That example means a great deal to me.
