Reality Check..
by alicia050563 at 10/28/2009 9:23:04 AM


Went to a condo association meeting last night, and our manager showed up with NO HAIR; looking like she was at deaths door!! She’s going through chemotherapy for breast cancer... JUST had a meeting in July, and she was vibrant and beautiful!!.. Could barely keep my focus and composure when I had to look at her and address the issues at hand, that were suddenly dwarfed and insignificant in my mind...I couldn't sleep when I got home, thinking about her and what she's going through...I am still processing this, thinking of some ways to help by maybe offering to clean her house and/or cook some meals. I will do something for sure, depending on her comfort level with me...What a reality check for me and how I am so blessed with good health and so much more in life...

My suggestion would be to offer to accompany her to chemo treatments, but only if you are comfortable with it. I went through this with my mum and the one thing that I remember the most during her treatments was the look in the eyes of the other people there wishing they had someone with them during treatments.
