This month, Brad Aronson published HumanKIND which Deepak Chopra called, "an elegant wise book of love in action”. Her death remains a source of intense sadness that, almost 2 years later, I am still having great issues processing and grieving. Besides my sister, my cousin and one of her friends who was a fellow nurse, I did not relay this story to anyone else. These heroic efforts from this KIND stranger from Twitter touched my heart. Not only did I get a response in under 5 minutes, followed by a personal email, but in the months to follow into her tragic death, he reviewed her records, tried to help her get into clinical trials and was a source of strength and information. He did not follow me on Twitter and he had many followers and so I did not know if he would respond. I had noticed he tweeted something about food allergies once so I wrote a tweet and told him what I do for those with food allergies and asked him if I could ask him questions about Martene's diagnosis. What you don't know is that while she was suffering, I reached out blindly on Twitter to the Scientific Director of Pancreatic Cancer Research at MD Anderson. Many of you know that I lost my younger cousin Martene to pancreatic cancer in October of 2018.
