Breast Friends

Women with breast cancer are expected to join support groups, told that doing so will actually improve their odds of survival. Personally, I’m not much of a joiner but I didn’t want to die because of that. So I decided to go to one meeting. Then I went to another. And another. I doubt that has extended my life, but it certainly touched my heart. And Natalie, who hosted most of our meetings, remains one of my dearest friends. This story, published in October 2003, is about our group’s final reunion, though Natalie and I have talked of having another one some day. It’s also my response to the magical thinking one hears so often in discussions of cancer: that idea (so disrespectful to those who have died) that you can survive it through positive attitude or sheer force of will.
