Relay in three months

I wrote this a few months ago and never posted it....

It is the highlight on my year to go to the relay and do the survivor lap. It is the most amazing feeling to be with others who have been where you have been and who feel just like you do. I cry every year.

It will be sad this year because my friend Laura passed away a few months ago, She was a fighter. So strong, suffered too long. I met her in 2009 at the support group. We were both just finishing treatment and we would compare our stubble on our heads. I gave up my wig a while before she did. When her cancer came back, I felt bad, and even worse when she would tell me how much she loved how my hair looked. RIP my friend.

Also, very sad this year was that my surgeon passed away of a heart attack. He was such a warm, wonderful man who truly had a wonderful bedside manner. More like a friend than a doctor. So my cancer can not come back because there is no more Dr Ibriham.
