I’ve been given a chance to reflect

Theresa M | 03-22-2015

In some ways my cancer has been a gift. It is just now, after 4 years of living with metastatic colon cancer, that I’ve been given a chance to reflect, read and try to understand this journey which can seem like a gift as not many people have a real chance to deeply reflect on their life and the next life. I do believe that my death will bring me to another life; one that I have believed in all my life. That faith is also a gift and a more concrete one since diagnosis.

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.
