My Stange New World

I started radiation therapy last week for my breast cancer. This is strange enough in itself but what is even stranger is who you meet in the waiting room. There are all kinds of cancer patients in all stages and all kinds of cancers. It is strange to see someone in that room that actually has hair.
Everyone is very friendly and we all talk about our journey's. It's so sad to talk to people who are terminal and they are so sick. You see people in wheel chairs that have come from the hospital and they are really sick and don't talk much but we try to cheer them up the best we can. I knew this would be an interesting journey but I never realized how my whole world or the view of it would change. I find it sad that some of these people may be gone before my treatment is even over. It also makes me feel guilty that I am not sick and will recover just fine.
I'm thinking of this journey and all the amazing people I am meeting as a blessing. I would have never met them if not for my breast cancer.
