I got a call from my oncologist office the other day. "We have another Japanese female patient who is about your age. She is doing chemo therapy right now. Would you like to make a connection with her and possibly help each other?" I said "sure! I'd love to." After she and I had few emails and telephone correspondence, we decided to meet. It's like my version of "Nordie's at Noon" :)
She and I go to the same general surgeon and oncologist. She found her lump in October last year. We work in the same field, public accounting. We will be both busy with tax season. She played golf in college. (She is better than me.) yes, there are so many things in common between us! amazing!
She is doing chemo therapy first and then surgery. We are on the same drugs in the same time schedule. She gave me real helpful advise about chemo. I showed her my incisions and told her about surgery and recovery. Talking with her got rid of most of my fear and concern about chemo. She is very perky and very positive. I thought I had a good attitude towards my situation, but she's got so much more strength and confidence. I thank God for sending her to my life.
Our goal is to play golf together this summer. Until then, we'll fight it together.
