Remember, in the Cooper Family no one fights alone. We will fight this battle until we have won, as we have always done.

The hockey metaphor works. The hard part seems to be the number of over-times because cancer doesn't fight fair. In some ways the tests freaked me out far more than the treatments themselves, almost as though they were responsible for the bad news. I was always reminding myself, 'get the data' 'get the data' 'get the data'. I used to fight with my oncologist a lot early on, and resisted just about everything he recommended, until I got it through my thick skull, that resistance and delays were just making things harder on myself. You're on a solid path, still fraught with some tough decisions, and long days, but the fight, every minute of it, is worth it.
