OT: One year ago, my sister finished chemo, today we are at the SEC tournament!

[xtra12]

My family and I are massive Kentucky fans, grew up that way and raise our children that way. Two years ago, my sister was diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast Cancer, which is one of the most aggressive kinds. Through the pandemic, it was chemo, then radiation, then chemo, then more radiation and surgery all while juggling two teenage boys. One of the things she always said that she never got to do was an SEC tournament.

Well, she is now cancer free, and we have our booklet and are in Tampa ready to cheer on the Cats. There are certain things in life that make you appreciate things like this even more.

I just wanted to rejoice with my fellow Cat fans and let everyone know we will be there to cheer them on!

Very happy for you and your family. Enjoy the tournament. God is good!

Good for your sister OP!! Cancer sucks ass. I'm so glad to hear she's cancer free!! I was diagnosed in September and had surgery 9 days ago. I'll learn if I need chemo/radiation when I go back for my first check up.

You and your sister give out some " GO BIG BLUE" shouts for me, will you?

Pull our Cats' in, bring that big blue mist!

That's great news and I hope you get to see the Cats cut down the nets.

 

[HerrosHeroes]

Amen Brother! Root the Cats home!
Happy for you and your Sister! Have fun!

I feel for your sister and extended family I know I've been there with chemo and found out the good news that I was cancer free 6 months after treatments began.

So happy to hear the good news and I hope the entire family rejoices and loves every minute of it (especially the last minutes of the finals). Two and a half years ago my wife and I were thinking about driving around the south for the SEC season, and seeing as many UK games as possible. Then the lockdowns hit and it didn't seem like such a good idea. I will try to enjoy the tournament vicariously through you and your family. And maybe next year.

Great news! Now cheer the Cats on to victory and celebrate everything!
