They&#8217;re like potato chips&#8211; you can&#8217;t have just one; Sophie can easily sneeze 12 times in a row. I get tired just watching. We had started to worry that the cancer had returned.

It was early August that her unusual sneezing sent us on this roller coaster&#8211; surgery, diagnosis, radiation, worrying. We don&#8217;t know how much cancer remains&#8211; but we know it&#8217;s there. Sophie, however, only knows that she&#8217;s feeling better than ever.
