I went in for my final expansion today. In the lobby of the doctor's office, I met a woman that had just been diagnosed with the Big C last week. She was there for her initial reconstructive surgery consultation.
I overheard her coordinating surgery schedules with her breast surgeon and felt an overwhelming desire to connect with her. So hoping to not sound intrusive, I told her that I had the same surgical team and that she was in good hands. She immediately asked if she could call me. I told her of course. She then said, "Can I call you today?"
It reminded me of when I reached out to Karin and Lara. I didn't know them but I knew I needed them.
My new friend and I spoke this afternoon for about a half hour. She didn't have any survivor resources...until now. Now, I'm HER "Pink Line" and it really feels good to give back.
So I'm sending a special prayer to Susan. May God heal you and be with you as you begin your journey and may He help me to be a resourceful Pink friend to you!
