Radical Radiation Team

This team has taken me through 17 sessions as of today.  Ruth, Sharon, Shelly, Jay, Valerie, Juliana, Bill and the nurses Alex, Laurie, and steadfast Tracey.  Tracey was the first nurse from the cancer center who coordinated my original team planning meeting after my mastectomy.  Last but not least is Dr. Proulx.  Another wonderful group of human beings who welcome patients everyday.  They sooth, cajole, explain to you and your friends and family what really happens back there.  They all greet you with a smile no matter what kind of day they have faced.  Yet another point to count my blessings for all that is going well with my treatment.  I've met some more amazing people in radiation facing such difficult circumstances on this side of the hallway.  Each day I carry these folks with me on my journey.  Just as all of you fortify me, their stories do as well.  They are rebar for my concrete on my continued path to great health.
