Patience in the face of breast cancer treatment
This is Barbara Wilson’s first bout with cancer, but she lost both her parents to pancreatic cancer.
“About two months ago they found a malignant lump on my breast. I had surgery, but I’ve had an issue that keeps coming up that keeps me from starting my radiation. So right now that’s my biggest challenge, trying to be patient.
“I was just talking to a friend and said, ‘There’s a reason. There’s always a reason. We don’t always like the reason. But it’s going to be OK.’
“When we get started, I’ll have radiation five days a week for a total of 30 to 35 treatments. I’ve had other health issues in the past, but this is probably the biggie. I’ve had at least 10 different things, so I thought I had run out of parts. Obviously, I haven’t.
“I’ve always recovered from my surgeries very quickly. I have every confidence that this, too, shall pass. I’m just looking forward to it being over.”
