I just returned from a wonderful vacation up in Maine. It was a glorious week. We had so much fun and the weather was great. It was a beautiful escape from reality. So, today it's back to the grind. Sifting through the emails.....I followed up on my dinner date with a dear friend for tomorrow night. Low and behold, her father-in-law was diagnosed with lymphoma. He received his diagnosis a week before I left for vacation and my frined didn't want to ruin my trip by telling me before. So, he started his treatment today at Dana-Farber. He's older so who knows if they can do a stem cell transplant. They said 1 year without treatment, 3 years with chemo. I f@#$ing hate blood cancer. I feel so mad today. Just pissed. WTF! It seems like everywhere I turn, blood cancer. Every diagnosis I hear of makes me want to work that much harder to raise money for cures. My insides feel like they are being squeezed I'm so mad. Not what I wanted to come home to. I know the roller coaster they are about to board....no f'ing fun. Time to double down....I need to do all I can to end this so not one more family has to go through this.
