Life has a way of getting its revenge, doesn't it? When I wrote my last entry, I noted that the shortest day last year had been my longest (day and night).
Within an hour of posting that information I received a telephone call, telling me that a very close family friend had, today, received the same news that I did this time last year; a different part of the anatomy and a different prognosis, but the doctor still said, "I'm sorry to say you have cancer." Ironic, isn't it, that the date was the same?
Although I'm well now, I feel so sad that someone else has to go through that long night this year, and that daybreak will be so much fainter than it was for me. It makes me more determined than ever to do something memorable to raise funds for cancer research.
