Twist On Cancer: It has been a bit over a year since my initial diagnosis and almost a year since going through chemotherapy and a couple of surgeries. Although I can’t recommend contracting cancer, I have had the opportunity to interact with many people who have offered incredible support, including a few who have literally been lifesavers. It would be easy to feel sorry for myself, but I have a great job, health insurance, financial resources, close friends, family, and my unbelievably supportive wife, all the while recognizing that many people facing similar (or worse) diagnoses have to cope with far fewer sources of support. As important as having the right medical professionals to attend to the “nuts and bolts” of treatment certainly is, knowing that there are people who care is a great source of healing.
