Re: update on my manager



It's always nice to hear when someone battles cancer..... and WINS!!!!
Here's to her continued cancer-free status. Sounds like she's been to hell
and back... but hopefully now she can move forward with confidence.

Also glad to hear that the HUG gave comfort where needed. That IS what they
are for... after all!!!

I don't know if anyone remembers, but over a year
ago, I had posted about my manager who was diagnosed
with breast cancer and I was wondering about a quilt
I could make for her.

I did make a simple one, blue squares on point (no
pink at all!), which was delivered in person by
another colleague (my manager is in a different
state from me) who was traveling at the time. The
quilt was extremely well received.

Anyway, about a month ago, she announced that she
is now free of the cancer (after a double mastectomy,
chemo, blah blah blah, weight gain from steroids, now
she's young, but in full-blown menopause as a side effect
of the chemo). I saw her for the first time recently
and she looked good! Her hair had grown back a bit.

Giving her the quilt did not make things awkward at
all, nor did it seem like I was trying to gain anything.
I'm just happy the quilt was received in the same
spirit that I made it in, and that it worked and she
is now well!
