Lately, I've been doing a lot of research. I research all sorts of things.....recipes (for myself....I am a dork who reads cookbooks like novels), chemo treatments/side effects, crochet patterns/ideas, "heart wills" (the memories a terminal patient makes to leave for their family), cancer statistics/studies/info, cars (I want to buy a new one someday), fundraising ideas, survivor stories, Kindles (I'm thinking of getting one), Ron Swanson (I have a problem), quotes....I could go on and on. A big shout-out to Pinterest here - what a game-changer it is when scouring the Internet!
A few weeks ago, this research led me to a stage 4 cervical cancer survivor's post. It has really stuck with me. She wrote, "Don't let the odds speak for you.....someone has to be that 2%, that 5%, that 20%, and it might as well be you."
Do you hear me? It might as well be YOU, Suzanne. It WILL be you. You ARE the Outlier.
It's funny how our searches tend to follow similar patterns ;)
