How blessed am I?

Tonight Jack and I went to a potluck dinner at Gilda's Club. Not only was the food good, but the company was great. I met someone new. Another ovarian cancer survivor. She is presently receiving chemotherapy. Apparently when she stops chemo, her CA125 count rises, so she keeps getting chemo. And she tells me that she has "floating" tumors. That scared me. She also told me that she has never been married and she has no children. I can't even imagine what she must be going through. At least when I had chemo, I had my husband and kids to care for me and about me. This woman has no one. How lonely that must be. How scared she must feel. I hope to see her again soon. She was such a joy to talk to. How blessed am I?
