I am overwhelmed by the response to the Hope and Courage segment that aired on abc27 Thursday night. I loved everything about the show ...except for the fact that it's my story. If you didn't get a chance to see it, you should be able to view it through this link: Hope and Courage - abc27 interview
Rich and I were invited to the television station to watch the show being aired from there. They provided dinner for all of us that were involved in the show and we even got a tour of the station. (we were like kids in a candy store when they turned us loose in the news room) Part of the show was live, but thankfully our part was taped (and edited) ahead of time. It took SIX hours with the producers to get the 8 minutes of footage that aired!
My doctor was also there at the station and I was honored to sit between her and Rich. I was giddy with excitement when my Nurse Navigator walked in the room and I got to give her a HUGE hug. I haven't seen her for at least two years! We talk often, but I don't get to see her in person much. I can't even begin to express how grateful I am for such a compassionate and dedicated medical team at Penn State Hershey Cancer Institute.
I said that I loved everything about the show ...except for the fact that it's my story. I guess I can't say that statement is entirely true. Of course, I wish I wasn't "that girl with cancer" and I most certainly have better things to do with my time than sitting through a three-hour chemo treatment, but there are so many things about this journey that I wouldn't trade for the world!
To those of you who have supported us, we have been humbled, blessed, and overcome by gratitude and cannot thank you enough.
