Yesterday's edition of this had a wrong link. Apologies.
Three years ago this week I got my formal diagnosis. This week:
Last Sunday the New Hampshire Union Leader ran a story "What's next for health care" following the Massachusetts Senate election. For some reason, I'm happy to say, they led with my sentiment that I just want people to be able to get good care when they need it.
At the end of the interview I learned that the reporter's mother had died of cancer 5 years ago.
Then this piece appeared online today, for tomorrow's print edition of Time. Again somehow they put my story first.
Honestly I think what's doing this is that I always hammer on the point "This is personal. Your time will come." Don't I know it.
And, as fate would have it, this is happening unexpectedly in a week when I'm in DC, speaking at some conferences and meeting executives of non-profits. Yesterday I decided to visit my legislators' staff on Capitol Hill; I met with one yesterday and have appointments with the others tomorrow. AWFULLY convenient that I can have this publicity in hand when I walk in!
The universe works in mysterious ways. This time, I'll take it.

3 years ago I was out of time. Now I'm in it.
