I posted this on GD earlier today, hoping to increase awareness.

When the oncologist said, "welcome to the wide world of cancer"
to my wife and I, we were startled. We have come to appreciate his perspective. My wife is a long term survivor; others in the family were not so fortunate. And we are part of a very wide "cancer community," which is affected by news such as the death of T. Snow. We have learned a great deal about compassion, support, thoughtfulness-- and the opposites of those qualities.

To those in DU also affected by cancer, my best wishes on a troubling day.
