Oh the toll it takes on you


I work for a plastic surgeon which usually has all the perks (literally) in the world, but we deal with a lot of breast cancer patients also. I have become an avid supporter and believer in miracles because of the faith and courage of every single survivor that walks through our door.
But there comes those days when the blue skies turn grey and we have to be the ones who tell them the bad news that the cancer has come back. Today was one of those days. A patient very near and dear to all of us got test results back today that her breast cancer is back and is in her lymph nodes. The toll it takes on everyone, even those who don't know her or her story is amazing and the atmosphere just kind of sunk.
Again, life takes you for a ride everyday, and for that we need to all be thankful and realize that what we have is a blessing. No one chooses when it gets taken away so live it to the fullest.
Thanks my preaching for the day.
