I'm a regular here, but I'd rather not identify her, so indulgence please Joe. A very good friend has ovarian cancer and has an operation booked on Monday. Its advanced; she's weak and in pain, and I fear the outcome might not be good. I'm clinging to the idea that they wouldn't operate if there weren't a fighting chance. I've loved her a long time, and I suspect that a lot of my anguish is selfish, the thought of having to live without her. But let me pretend to be altruistic for a while yet. If good thoughts can do any good, please give them a try.
