Day 3 (Thursday 12 September): They are coming out of the woodwork

As I start to share my "news" I'm finding that many people I know have had similar journeys.  One of my swimming mum buddies told me her story this morning very matter-of-factly, starting my pointing out that she is still here with us and telling us that she "was bald as a badger".  I'm finding comfort in these connections and strength in hearing of the bravery.  As I learn more about the process, the unknown is becoming slightly less scarier - to the extent that it can.
