Point to Ponder:
Luck isn't getting what you want. It's surviving what you don't want.
A cancer diagnosis is difficult, to say the least. I am humbled and awed at the outpouring of kindness, prayers, and support that I have received from my family, relatives, students, colleagues, community members, parents, and former students . Cornell is an amazing place in which to live and raise a family, and I am blessed to have so many kind people support me and pray for me. I appreciate your thoughtfulness and support more than you will ever know. Thank you so much!
