I appreciate you being so open and vulnerable about something so personal. Having just made the move to Portugal myself (been here about 12 months in total now), I simply cannot imagine the stress of getting this diagnosis so close on the heels of such a major life event. You are majoring in major life events, my friend. I'm glad to hear your cancer sounds very treatable but still, it's cancer, it's scary, and you're far away from familiar surroundings and the support system you are used to, which makes it all the more challenging. Your calmness is an inspiration. I hope it all gets easier from here on out. p.s. I grew up in the greater St. Louis area, and worked for Anheuser-Busch for years. What are we midwesterners doing in Portugal?!
