Let Me Know What You Need

Since my initial diagnosis in August, so many people have said "let me know what you need." It's hard to take advantage of all of those sincere offers because sometimes, until you're in the middle of something, you don't know what you need. People hire wedding planners all the time because they don't know what they need. They've never done it before. I'd like to hire a cancer planner right now, because I've never done this before, and I don't know what I'll need next week.

I do know for me, the strangest dynamic of this journey so far is no longer drawing a line between "work" friends and "not work" friends. Everyone has quickly become part of the same support system. That's new for me. So now that all my friends and colleagues have collided, let me once again thank you for walking with me through this. Stay tuned here and I'll let you know what I need, except of course next week when I won't be able to use my arms for like two days...Did anyone besides my husband want to volunteer to come feed me?
