It's a Small World!

My Breast Cancer World just got a little smaller today. 

I was out crafting/quilting at my friend's like I always am on Thursdays. On my way home, I felt impressed to call an old friend of mine (she's not old, we've just known each other for a long time LOL). I haven't talked to her in probably over a year. I wasn't even sure if her phone number would work but I tried anyways. It shocked me when not only was it the right number but she actually answered!!! She asked if we were still in Fargo and then it hit me that she didn't have any clue of the events of my last year. Not the move, then the diagnosis, then the surgery, then the non-move. Crazy year! So I begin to sum it up for her in a very brief explanation. [I know... you don't think I know how to be brief] When I got to the diagnosis she stopped me and said, "Who has breast cancer?" When I repeated that it was ME, she informed me that SHE had a bilateral mastectomy 3 days ago. What???? Insane! She was diagnosed with breast cancer a month ago. Dangit! I think she's still in the "I don't believe you that everything is going to be ok" stage. But I am so glad that I followed the prompting to call and check on her. Wow! How small the world can become at times! Good Luck in your fight, lady! We'll be praying for you! Call me ANYtime you need someone to vent to. Whether it's about grenades sucking things from your sides,  stitches, stinky drugs or anything else your adventure brings your way! Luv ya!
