It's been a tough week

Three times this week I stood in the room while the doctor delivered the news. Lymphoma, melanoma and a brain tumor. Three days in a row I watched the emotions run across the faces of three very young individuals and their family members. Three days in a row I had to step in after the doctor left the room and explain what we needed to do next. I almost felt responsible for their grief but I know the images I took could save their lives. We might have caught it in time. We might have.
