"I keep a postcard with a quote and picture of Audre Lorde, a cancer survivor, by the bedside light: 'When I dare to be powerful - to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid.' This helps, especially in the middle of the night."

"Some of what I said seven months after treatment began is different even now, at the one year mark. Keep breathing, find your truest self, find joy everywhere, cry, learn all about how to take care of your body and your heart, accept and give love, insist on living it all." - Patti
