When you are diagnosed with Cancer, you enter a world that has its own unique atmosphere, its major and minor characters, its landmarks, and definitely its own emotional ‘vibe’.
Your radical (in the best possible way) perspective of this whole journey felt like a big bear hug in and of itself as I read your words. What could be a time focused on worry and self-pity, deservedly so, instead you have cultivated love, light, gratitude and even joy through your experience. What a beautiful grace and gift! Praying for you as you continue to endure all that lies ahead, maintaining your CAN DO attitude. And God Bless Dr. R and all who are walking alongside you - with really cool socks - on your path back to full health!
Once again I was drawn in from beginning to end. And William Morris socks?! How fantastic! I will be praying often for this journey, Denise—that our Lord, who plays in ten thousand places, would daily walk beside you, whisper His love, and give you His courage!
I was at the garden today, keeping an eye out for a kindly lady in Doc Martens...maybe wearing a William Morris sling bag or something...but didn't see her. Maybe one day...
I’m following your stories closely, gleaning whatever I can as I start my own chemo treatments on Monday, 4 weeks after my surgery. So far, as you have noticed, it’s been nothing like all the scenarios I had imagined. Be assured of my continued prayers for your full and complete recovery!
Praying for you daily, and now for Dr. R as well. I am so sorry for all the bad things this diagnosis has brought for you, but grateful for your sharing your journey and the unforeseen beautiful parts.
Denise, I have come to love you in a very short time, less than a year, of reading your writings. How blessed I feel to know you now, and how fervently I am praying for you. I am going to share this post with my CNA daughter in nursing school, as well as my priest son. Both will benefit from it greatly. Bless you.
thank you for remembering the Philly Steak Sandwich, one of my favorites. and as a tv junkie, I want to know Where is Dr. House when you need him. He had a way of seeking solutions to the problems that came to him and his students.
Dr. R is a channel of the Lord's grace to you, Denise, as you are to so many others. Thank you for sharing this delightful picture of a man who is clearly in the right job. May the Lord continue to bless him and you in what may be a perilous journey . . .

Thank you, Bettyjean!
God knew what he was doing when he placed Dr. R in your path! We continue to pray for you, Dr. R and all on this journey of cancer.
You have been in my prayers since I first learned of your diagnosis. Please let Dr. R know that he has been added to my list.

Thank you, Clare! I will add you to my daily rosary. ❤️
I smiled at the Morris connection. God does work in mysterious ways, doesn't he? Prayers sent your way Denise.
Thank you, Tania! ❤️
