my friend debbie buckner in north carolina sent me this card! i showed it to dr. rost and the techs. thanks, debbie, for always making me laugh. i think often about the fact that if i had not had cancer, i would not have met debbie. i had seen the powerful photos of debbie on flickr taken by my friend kristi hedberg, and i remember feeling so sad that this young woman had cancer. when i announced on flickr that i had cancer, kristi gave me debbie's phone number, said we had a lot in common. little did i know i was about to make a lifelong friend and one who would be there for me every day through my ordeal. she prepared me for everything that could possibly happen, she was there for me when i was afraid and crying, and she made me laugh all through my four difficult months of chemo. when i think back on my experience, i always think of debbie.
had boost #2 today - only 5 more to go!!!!!!

and what a very small world we actually live in....so glad that you and Debbie were able to meet. You have both been such great medicine for each other@!
dear kristi, you changed my entire life by introducing me to debbie. xoxoxo
dear beth, kristi's photos are so amazing, and i agree, debbie is beautiful. and she's full of spirit and compassion--and has the most wonderful north carolina accent!
This makes me get all mushy and cry! I wish I could read those comments I added...I remember I was a real "smarty-pants, aka a__hole" with that humor. You always took that sicko humor and found a way to enjoy. :)
