Saturday Dec 13, 2008 -- Bonnie and I met with our two survivor guides, Pat and Tom. We talked with Pat for 2 hours over lunch. I mostly listened while Bonnie took notes. It was fascinating hearing his story. So much to absorb. We met with Tom for 2 hours in the late afternoon. Again a massive amount of data to absorb. Everyone at work knows how much I love data. ;-) The subliminal part of the meetings had a big impact too – they went through what I am facing and they SURVIVED! The other change from the meetings was that I had less fear of the cancer but more fear of the treatment.
