Hear about Everyday Amazing @ Back to School

Everyday amazing to me is just enjoying everyday things. Being finished with treatment and the time between first year doctor follow up appointments. A day feeling healthy regardless of your current cancer status. The day when my Mom was in the hospital living her last days and nothing tasting good, being able to bring her Dunkin Donuts coffee and that tasting so good for her. A chance to spend one last night together in the hospital and talk. Being able to keep things normal for my kids through my own treatment. Realizing how great finalizing a treatment plan or switch to a doctor you better connect with can feel. Everyday amazing to me is feeling the peace in my head and heart I desire. Everyday amazing is feeling overwhelming gratitude for all the people that help you along the way. Everyday amazing is a chance to return the favor in any way you can.

Our Mission

This is a place where anyone who counts themselves as a member of the Mass General Cancer Center community --- patient, family member, physician, nurse, researcher, social worker, care giver, administrator --- can come to read, think, and write about the words we all use, but which we don’t always understand in the same way. Often we use words and phrases that are common, that we use every day. Yet, their very familiarity creates the illusion of common understanding where, the fact is, we are frequently using these words in radically different ways, with radically different meanings. In our small way, WWTA is meant to help us work toward a common language and make the conversations we have about cancer more meaningful.
