I

We saw a delightful patient today. She is 84 years old. Recently she had 80% of her stomach removed due to cancer. 32 lymph nodes were also removed and she just finished her 21st radiation treatment. Yet, she is full of light and optimism. Today, she had these very bright tennis shoes that matched her solid pink pants and patterned pink top. I asked her why she liked wearing such a bright outfit. She said she feels it is uplifting to “wear bright”. What a great example of living life with zest and finding the silver lining in the storms of life.
