Those words, “I’m sorry, but you have cancer” can never really be erased once they have been chiseled into our memories. The urgency and the permanency with which they adhere to our lives instantly create what is possibly the most traumatic shockwave that we are likely to experience.I was alone the moment I heard my diagnosis, on the telephone, picking up my messages.
