Cancer School - Experience #12

Yesterday I went to the first installation of what I'm calling "Cancer School." These are short classes held at Northwestern that I'm attending on various topics pertaining to breast cancer, like stress management, physical fitness, nutrition, and so forth. The first class was a very informative session on managing the stress related to cancer diagnosis and treatment. There were a number of women at the session, all at different stages of cancer and treatment. It's pretty awesome to see people working through such incredibly difficult situations in such a wide variety of ways.

P.S. The Cubs won a close one last night against the Cards, so they're back on track after losing two this weekend. They're a mere 3 games out of first as of today, and on national TV on ESPN tonight. 10x40 readers across the country will be cheering them on tonight, I'm sure ;^)
