When you are dealing with a huge bump in the road, like cancer, it's time to bring in the big guns. Some people can deal with it themselves, but I am not one of them. I knew I would need to talk to a therapist.
When I met with my oncologist, she told me she would have the therapist call me and set up an appointment. The next day, I got a call from Melinda Sobel and never looked back. Along with Paige, she was one of the reasons I was able to get through treatments with such ease. She is so kind and warm and sweet and I felt better just after talking to her for 5 minutes. She's so understanding and lets you know that everything you are going through is normal. She makes me laugh and makes me understand why I am feeling certain things. She has also helped my family, which I cannot thank her enough for. She came to visit me during every single treatment. Her infectious smile definitely made the fact that they were pumping poison into me a bit less scary.
I feel like she is supposed to be in my life and I am so glad I am able to call her a pal. Aaaaand she's getting married in July!!!! (Sorry fellas, she's taken)
