On Wednesday, my father received lots of generosity from people at his workplace. Earlier he had only one person at his work about me, his boss Carol. But on Wednesday Carol was not the only person there that knew. She told everyone there what was going on with me and everyone responded well.
They created a nice little get-well card with a whole bunch of signatures on it for my family. They also donate a bunch of money to us as well. My father said that they all treated him nicely and were very sympathetic. He said there was even one person who told him about someone they knew with cancer and got very emotional in the process.
But the people at my dad's work are not the only ones outside my family being nice. My mom's friends have been generous as well. They have all been concerned about me and have been asking about me all the time. A couple of her friends even assembled a nice little gift basket for me!
I'm sure this generosity will continue and I will always appreciate it, as will the rest of my family. People being nice to you always helps you get through hard times. Hopefully the worst is already over for me and the chemotherapy will not be that bad. I guess I'll see on Friday.
Regardless of how I do later, thank you everyone who has been generous to me and my family, especially the people at my father's workplace. My father says that the people he is working with now are some of the friendliest he has worked with and the generosity they showed Wednesday is great proof of that.

Hi, I also work with your father all be it across the other side of the Atlantic. I just want you to know that I have been through what you are going through, and I appreciate how you feel. I was sick in 1983, but am fully fit now and have been for years. I just want you to know that it WILL GET BETTER, and these things make you value life even more. I still go for a check up every 2 years, in fact it was last week, but I lead a normal life. Just wanted you to know that people across the world are wishing you all the best and willing you to keep your chin up and fight hard. Maybe we will meet some day, but till then, my thoughts are with you. AP
