Worse Than An IA

Thank you

The funeral was yesterday. God it was hard. So many friends..she became such a champion here for breast cancer awareness. She had a loud infectious laugh as well that always made you feel so much better when you heard it.

They didn't allow the little girl to attend the service..actually Lyn didn't want her to go...

One of my beloved uni professors is in Mass General Hospital with seizures and a mass in his brain.  We're all thinking of him, as he was one of our favourites.

That's just awful!  Hugs to you!

It is hard. Harder than you ever imagine. And it takes time and more time to begin to get over it -- if you ever can.
I was at a mall recently and saw a woman I knew somewhat and, of course, she asked: "How's your daughter?" with all best intentions, I'm sure. I just stared at her, wishing she would disappear, and finally said "We lost her" There wasn't a lot either of us could say after that.

Hugs to you..I can't imagine how you feel.

An update on my professor- he had a benign cyst. it was removed, and he's been released from MGH and is up and running again! Whoohoo!   

Oh what a relief! That's great news!

(Also, not to hijack, but I didn't want to post my good news in a bad news thread but I'm doing really really well these days. The last 3 blood counts I've had have had everything in the normal range with haemoglobin at 14.0 consistently which is the upper end of normal. I feel great, I'm back at work 4 days a week and the biggie is that I've started running again. I did a pretty easy but slow 4.5km this morning, for example. And I've registered to run a 10k this summer at my 1 year BMT anniversary for the Anthony Nolan Trust.  )

Fantastic news!!! I'm so glad you are doing well. I think this thread needed a little good news.

MeShell, I'm so sorry about your friend. And Boston Diner, I know it isn't the same at all, but I always hated it when people asked me about my father after he passed away. It was just awful and I would always burst into tears. I'm sorry. 

Good news squirrellypoo and phatbeatle!!

My uncle, who is supposed to be 'the healthy one' in the family has to have urgent surgery this week.
