Hi Jeremy, This is Kim, your old teaching partner from Bilquist.
I want you to know I've been reading your blog from start to finish the last few hours looking for strength...you are an inspiration...as well as your wife! Your humor, spirit and attitude is absolutely amazing considering all you've been through.
I was diagnosed with breast cancer earlier this month and I'm having a really hard time wrapping my brain around the reality of this whole thing. Since my particular type won't respond to normal hormone therapy I am going to start chemo right away to see if we can get the tumor to shrink. Knowing you are getting through this gives me lots of hope...not a lot of courage yet, but a lot of hope!
You keep fighting!!!!! You have a beautiful family & I wish nothing but the best for all of you! Kim
Kim, I'm shocked and saddened by your news! I know all to well how the world turns upside down in this moment. Know this: as unlikely as it seems, you will find a "new normal" and it won't always feel so crazy. I am absolutely available if you want to talk about stuff, especially starting chemo, and I totally understand if you don't (that's how I felt, still feel.... but if might help to talk to someone you know who's going through the same...) I've learned some things, some tricks that help, please let me know if there is anything at all that I can do.
