Farewell Hong Kong

I have always loved the city of Hong Kong.  While some call it a crowded little place, I call it a location of respite.  It has lots of green, lots of water and lots of different foods!  I've been here numerous times in the past and for the first time, I don't know when I'm going to be back.

I've traveled to Hong Kong eight times since January.  For a while there, my stomach would clench as I crossed the border and I could start to smell chemo drugs, even though I was nowhere near the doctor's office.  I still have that slight reaction, but it's lessened quite a bit.

I was afraid that my impression of Hong Kong would change as the result of my cancer.  However, it hasn't.  The meaning of the city has deepened for me.  I can't post my photos I've taken this time as I don't know how to do so on my new little netbook, but I'll write a follow-up post on it back in China.

I am blessed with beloved friends in/near this city.  Sue, Holly, Suzanne, Jim, XR, Diane, the Swatow Baptist Church in TST and of course, the entire medical staff at Unimed.  How many people have a cancer doctor who is praying for them and who gives you a hug as you take your case to another country?  More about that later.

So on this last morning in Hong Kong, I just want to say farewell.  I don't know when I'll be back, but I hope it's not too long.  I love this city and I love the people here.

Hong Kong, you've been a blessing and you are integral in my journey to healing.

    God's Story

    _I believe we all have a story. This blog records my story and how I've lived with breast cancer both as a primary disease and a terminal disease.  I believe this is all a part of God's story for my life. This blog unapologetically includes all areas of my life: my faith, my family and my advocacy for change in the metastatic breast cancer world.
