Martha, as a breast oncologist this puts so many words in my head. Thank you for voicing your ghost so that we can name ours. Beautiful essay, truly.

Mary.

Thank You!

I am just exiting yet another round of Cancer Surgery and your magical recount of yours is truly inspiring and incredible.

And being of Irish Origins, I am surprised that I had never even heard of the word “Samhain”. ( Every Day is a Learning Day)

Keep Going and Keep the Faith.

Beautiful writing. As a fellow cancer person, it’s such a (painful) joy to find other people reckoning with their disease on here. Glad to hear you’re currently NED, best.
