gail Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 Wasn’t sure how to post this, found it hard to do the happy dance after reading many of the posts. I know many of you are in crisis at this moment, many are tired and worn out. Please bear with me. Today, April 24, is my 4 year anniversary of my lung cancer surgery and diagnosis. And yes, I am treating myself to an hour long facial this afternoon. My sisters sent me a beautiful flower arrangement on Friday. My students assumed it was my wedding anniversary. They are 8, and I didn’t tell them any differently. But I made sure my collegues knew. They heard the words “lung cancer†Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
