Reflections on a night to celebrate and honor those affected by cancer.
BY KIM JOHNSON
When my sister was diagnosed, I was 23 and truly had no idea what cancer was, how much of an impact it would have on my life, how much my life would change or how long she would have cancer. But take away all those bigger things, and a long list of unknowns still remained – like how was she going to get to and from treatments? Who would be there when I couldn't? And was I really as alone as I felt?
Those questions would be answered by many, but I have found that the best resource was when a nurse pointed me in the direction of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Through the help that I was able to receive from the many resources offered at my local chapter, Rocky Mountain LLS, my sister and I did make it through cancer.
