Unforgettable Moments
There are instances in a person’s life that are unforgettable. Moments of clarity or focus that stand out like beacons in our memories. I gained several of these unforgettable moments as a patient over the past 18 months. At the age of 43 I discovered a large 26 cm mass in my abdomen. The initial imaging showed it was likely a sarcoma. Reading the CT report while I was working an ER shift was a crushing moment filled with doubt and disbelief and worry. I felt peace that things would be OK, but I did not know what the future would hold.
