Hi Dean,
Yesterday my family celebrated the 46th birthday of my Sister-in-Law Joanne, by bowling according to her special rules (including bowling in slow-mo, between your legs, while holding hands with someone). Jo is an 8 year survivor of Stage IV metastatic breast cancer.
She has lived to see her son graduate not only from 8th grade, but high school, Marine boot camp, and into his Junior year of college.
What seemed like an immediate death sentence has turned into an amazing life after cancer. She got to take a balloon ride to open the Indiana State Fair on Friday too.
In the words of Jimmy Buffet: “Some of its magic, some its tragic, but I've had a good life along the way.”
