Illness is a kind of initiation or rite of passage, taking you from a good life to a better one, from a limited understanding of your world to one that is much more sophisticated. Illness may transform you, giving you a vision and understanding you may have sought but never found.
Your cancer has a tragic side, but it can also change your emotional life and affect your relationships for the better. It can heal you as a person. Even as it threatens to take your life, it can give you more life. You don't have to be a genius or full of courage to receive its gifts. You only have to open your imagination wide, keep your sense of wonder alive, and feel the love of life that is already in you. Bring that love to the people around you and you will discover for yourself that illness heals.

Oh my gosh Kath....I am so sorry this is happening to you. I am just sick, but do not worry that you told me this way. It is all good. I can come down and help with anything you need during this journey, and also understand if you don't want people around for awhile. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers every single day. Love always. Judy
