I am a 75 year old widow newly diagnosed with cancer.
Born in the Permian Basin. Dad took his dream job on a ranch when I was 11. Living 5 miles from the nearest neighbor, books became my best friends as did solitary walks. Started college at UT Austin. Had trouble finding a major and left after my Sophomore year. Became a bartender and budding entrepreneur. Moved To Denver, CO for 4 broke years, then back to Texas. Married 5 times, no natural children, 2 degrees, and yet no real profession. I had to take disability at 50 with Fibromyalgia. I became the primary care giver to my husband who was a diabetic with heart problems. After 23 years, I lost my husband in 2016. Since then, it has just been me and my cats. Now on the grand adventure of fighting cancer with the help of great friends and an awesome medical team.
