From Shane
The first week is the loudest. Everyone has a cousin who beat it and a supplement that cured it. Here is what I wish someone had told me: you do not have to decide anything today except who is coming to the next appointment with you. Write down the questions. Ask about the plan for her hair before the first infusion, not after. And eat something.
“She fought for four years and refused, to the end, to let cancer define her.”— from the jacket
