Cindy & I had a good day today with friends. Part of it was spent with friend Lisa...who later this week...will begin chemotherapy for a recently found breast cancer.
Lisa & Vince chose not to share their news with us when they visited me in the hospital 2 weeks ago. They knew it was 'my' time for care and concern...and not the time to share 'their' bad news.
We told Lisa today...we appreciated their concern, but wished we could have been there for them that day. But we promised we are with them now...for whatever they need.
Lisa is thinking positive...as she must. We shed only a few tears with her...and then got in the mode of...let's just get 'this show' on the road.
Lisa will undergo chemotherapy...then radiation...then surgery...all over the next 5 months.
One of her friends called her this week to say she found the perfect T-shirt for Lisa to wear after she has her mastectomies and reconstructive surgery. Reluctantly, Lisa asked what the shirt said.
"Yes they're fake...my real ones tried to kill me!"
We loved it. We love Lisa.
