AND WE'RE OFF !

I was thinking the other day that I've been too busy to blog.  In this case, that's a good thing because it means COMPASSIONATE HANDS AND HEARTS is busy fulfilling its mission.  
     But every now and then, we encounter situations that break out hearts.  One of our clients has postponed treatment because her husband doesn't want her to have a mastectomy.  I still don't understand that.  Women feel forced to choose between their husband and their lives.  Seems like an easy choice for some, for others, it is not.
     Not sure how we can help these women.  Part of me wants to hit them over the head and ask, "Are you crazy?"  The other half just wants to wrap my arms around them, even though I don't have the words to say.
     Heartbreaking.
