One of the things about having breast cancer is that you realize the times that you weren't really present for the women you knew who had breast cancer. I simply didn't get it.
As I've begun to deal with having cancer I've realized the many ways that I failed to adequately support the women in my life who had breast cancer and it makes me sad.
To those of you in my life who have had breast cancer, I'm sorry I wasn't as present for you as I should have been.
