Thanks Bobert!!

About a month ago I was in Ithaca, NY and I was parking my car when I noticed that the car next to me had a teal ovarian cancer ribbon magnet on the back of it. I wrote a note explaining that I had ovarian cancer too and wished her well, leaving my email address. Tonight she contacted me. The owner of the car does not have ovarian cancer but her grandmother does. She was looking for information, practical day to day, how to get through, what to expect, etc. kind of information. I think I spent over an hour writing back. I also shared my phone number and told her that she or her grandmother were welcome to call anytime.

It feels really, REALLY good to be able to share something that might be helpful to someone else....of course you all know that already....but still....my heart feels really good. :)

Sweet dreams my friends,

Michelle
