Cancer changed my life for the worse, but it also opened me to many new experiences I would never have had without it.

Jane has earned three advanced degrees and had several fulfilling careers as a librarian, rehabilitation counselor and college teacher. Presently she does freelance writing. Her articles include the subjects of hearing loss and deafness, service dogs and struggling with cancer. She has been a cancer survivor since 2010.
She has myelodysplastic syndrome, which is rare, and would love to communicate with others who have MDS.
I believe in coincidences, and think we meet certain people for a reason. Author Flavia Weedn said the famous quote, “Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for awhile and leave footprints on our hearts. And we are never, ever the same.”She has myelodysplastic syndrome, which is rare, and would love to communicate with others who have MDS.
I think all of us can remember the relative, the friend, the teacher, the person who left an imprint on our hearts and were there for a reason.
I can think of so many times in my life that something unexplained happened, when later I realized there was a reason behind it. I remember being young and just out of school. I was struggling financially, living in an ice-cold apartment with no heat, sick with bronchitis and worried about money. My old car needed repairs and I had no savings, no investments, just a small check coming in. Suddenly, an insurance reimbursement check arrived in the mail and I felt like I had hit the lottery. I have had several friends tell me when they received an unexpected sum of money when they were down and out. It makes a believer out of me.
