		<description><![CDATA[Your friend, colleague, aunt or sister was just diagnosed with cancer. What do you say to her?

Sometimes you mean to say something kind and sensitive, but it comes out all wrong. It would be great if someone would give you some idea of what is the right thing to say, that will convey how you really feel (or how you know you should feel.)<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=wildrosespirit.wordpress.com&blog=2698932&post=100&subd=wildrosespirit&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I'm feeling well, too! This is Day 12 after my last (and final!) chemo June 24. I'll get my port out this week Tuesday. That will be nice. It's an in-office procedure (I hope my surgeon puts me in "twilight" because I've been on the edge of panic and having serious panic attacks for a while). Next Monday is my final blood draw; I see the oncologist for the last time on Tuesday, and at that time, she'll release me into the wild.

The following week, I leave for my new job.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=wildrosespirit.wordpress.com&blog=2698932&post=91&subd=wildrosespirit&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
