Thank you – two little words that will never really describe how grateful I am for all the incredible people in my life. My family, friends, co-workers, past and present – I don’t know how I’ve gotten so lucky to always be surrounded by such caring, supportive, thoughtful, intelligent people! (Yes I’m talking about YOU! And ok, you are funny and gorgeous, too! 🙂 )
The outpouring of love and support over the last two weeks has been completely overwhelming. From the notes on facebook, texts, letters in the mail, e-mails, tweets, phone calls, office chats, lunches, dinners and long walks – I am so grateful to know how much you care. Seriously, if cancer can be beaten by prayers, positive thoughts, good vibes and general well-wishes, we’ve got this won hands-down. And I believe it can be.
So while sometimes I will get bitchy, bossy (as normal, right?), depressed, weepy and weary, know that deep down I know this is not the end of the world (I won’t let it be) and that I am endlessly thankful every minute of every day for every single one of you…

Amy,
Keep up the fighting spirit. You have begun a long journey so prepare yourself. 38 is a young age, but Jennifer’s first diagnosis came in her 38th year. There are other young women who have breast cancer as well. You will find you are not alone. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Thank you so much, Peter. I truly appreciate it. You always seem to be warning me – first, with all I had to brace myself for with the move to London (and back) and now this. I’ve been thinking of Jennifer. Wish you all didn’t have to go through this too… love to you all.
Amy
