Putting things in perspective
It's Wednesday. Much work to do before the weekend, if I can make it there. Time to step back and look at the bigger picture.
Following up on my last post, back in May, my wife's friend has had additional spots showing up on x-rays. She is doing another course of chemo. She will also be going to have appointments for additional evaluation at two of the best cancer centers in the world -- Sloan Kettering in New York and MD Anderson in Texas. She is doing everything she can. I tell my wife honestly that there is reason for hope, but I also have gently warned her to realize the severity of metastases.
At the same time, my wife's friend just published her first paper in a peer-reviewed journal (Nucleic Acids), covering work she did on formation of G4 DNA, as part of her overall work in cancer and her work toward receiving a PhD from University of Washington.
I think I should be able to make it to the weekend.
