“Sandy’s book is made up of 111 “ramblings”—each one a snapshot of her experience navigating Stage-4 cancer. They aren’t chronological chapters, but rather glimpses into her thoughts, fears, hopes, and hard-earned wisdom from the exact moment she was living them. The writing feels like a conversation—sometimes light and funny, other times tough and real. If you’ve ever felt like the cancer journey is anything but linear, Sandy’s words will resonate.
She reminds us that honesty is powerful, and that there’s no one right way to move through pain. While her book has been said to have practical tools, I think the real “tools” might be found in her voice — her willingness to show up, to write through it, and to invite us into that space with her.
Thank you to Johnson & Johnson for their ongoing sponsorship of this support group, which allows us to continue holding space for meaningful conversations like the one we’re about to have tonight.
Welcome, Sandy!”
