Pallavi, my heart goes for you. I read your previous post and this one while travelling and ever since have been waiting to write to you that, what happen to you can happen to anyone of us. My mother went through the same and I am in the high-risk category. What you are feeling is genuine, but if it is any consolation, my mother lived a healthy life for decades after beating the monster. You are much younger than her. Send you all my love and strength. I am writing about your newsletter in mine newsletter, A Whimsical Writer, today

Well, I just cried. Pallavi, a friend of mine Marie, a writer in Ireland, wrote right through an exact breast cancer experience as you. It’s all so uncannily similar, the beauty and pain of your words. This is so, so touched me, like your previous piece of telling your boys. Be well, you courageous young thing.

A very brave piece, life is full of paradoxes as you say. And thank god for that. Look forward to hearing more about how this experience changes the way you see and think

Dear Pallavi, please don't apologize or feel 'sorry' for expressing yourself. Your writing and words through this period has been a masterclass on being vulnerable, open and graceful during life's toughest times.
