I too was surprised ...Thanks Kathleen and welcome!<br /> I too was surprised at the graciousness of people. About a year before my diagnosis I was planning my wedding, and sometimes had to beg for help.<br />I don't know whether having cancer brought our the best in people, or allowed me to see the good that was already there.<br />Suzjoinourloophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10863989794424702693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7728225253148337857.post-62100415670467706032010-01-19T22:27:09.124-08:002010-01-19T22:27:09.124-08:00It is the kindness of others that helps make the j...It is the kindness of others that helps make the journey easier. I was so grateful for the help I received from family, neighbors and friends. <br />I was surprised when certain people stepped forward, and a bit saddened by those who withdrew, not knowing how to handle the situation. <br />I also handled the illness in the most practical way that I could; I knew the steps I had to take to save my life, and I wanted to do whatever it took to live for my husband and children. I sort of had "tunnel vision" and didn't let the side effects get to me. I didn't complain; after all, how could I complain when this was the path I needed to take in order to survive? <br />Thanks, Ann, for sharing your story. <br />I'm so glad that the Loop found me on Twitter, and I am happy to be following back!Kathleen A.
