I am going to break one Scrabulary rule and allow a word that is a deliberate, not accidental or spoken in conversation combination of two words. This is in honor of my son-in-law's mom who is battling metastatic cancer. I am in awe of this woman--of her courage, her strength, her outlook and her humor. She said in her last blog post on 08/04/15:
"Because of all the new therapies, cancer is no longer a scenario of being either 'cured' or 'dying'. More and more, it is being treated as a 'chronic condition' of flare-ups and setbacks, so that we must keep our bodies in as good a condition as possible during stable periods so we can better withstand the next 'trip to the rodeo.'"[chemotherapy] They've even coined a name for us. They call us "Metavivors." AKA Surviving with Mets."
You are an inspiration to those of us who know you and/or read your blog, Dixie. Thoughts and prayers are with you.
