In early February 2013 I was diagnosed with Uterine Leimyosarcoma. Of the sarcomas, which as a group are rare, Leimyosarcoma is rare. And of Leiomyosarcomas, Uterine Leimyosarcoma is rare. Super.
I have always been inspired by the ancient Greek myth about Ariadne, princess of Knossos, Theseus and the Minotaur. She gave Theseus a spool of thread before he entered the Minotaur's labyrinth. He unspooled it on the way in and followed the thread to escape. Her solution to the problem was both elegant and unexpected. She out-maneuvered the beast.
This blog chronicles my battle with this disease. And, I hope, of how I out-maneuvered my personal beast.
Counting on elegant and unexpected solutions for you too, my friend!
ReplyDeleteAriadne's Thread always reminds me of Ariadne musica, the set of 20 preludes and fugues by the Baroque composer Johann Fischer. This work inspired J.S. Bach to compose his monumental work The 48 Preludes and Fugues for the Well-tempered Clavier. Both of these composers' elegant and unexpected approaches to out-maneuvering the fugal beast in the labyrinth are awe-inspiring and beautiful at the same time. May the music assist your journey, Suzanne!
