Since the beginning of this journey, I have been looking for cancer patients my own age to compare notes with. I didn’t expect that one of them would be a friend of mine. On Saturday morning I got a phone call from a good friend calling to say that she had just been diagnosed with breast cancer. We are the same age and have received similar test results; small tumor with lymph node involvement. I’m still shocked. I know she is reading this and perhaps some of her friends and family are too. Know that I will be a very good tour guide on this journey and together we will make it through. Buckle up…the ride is about to begin.
Steve has said that some women get together to work on scrapbooks; we’ll get together to work on our binders.
All the best,
me

Hi Kim - I've been thinking about you a lot lately. Whenever I need courage to do or say anything, I think of you and the incredible fortitude you have. I know that you will be the best tour guide. How lucky she is to have you on the journey with her. Truly. Oh, and I am starting tennis lessons on Saturday, with my new pink racquet and pink tennis balls - Wilson's Hope product line that supports breast cancer research. I love the color pink more than ever!
Smiles and hugs,

Kim,
You'll be happy to know that the "trip" binder has been started. Let me know if you need any mapquests! :-)
You have been an excellent tour guide so far, but don't forget that sometimes the tour guide has to lean on her passengers too.
I hope you're enjoying the movies.
Colleen
