A Moment in Sarcoma from Alison
l Leiomyosarcoma · Moments in Sarcoma AwardsCambridge, Massachusetts
I met Doreen Kossove through the leiomyosarcoma list on ACOR. For 8 years we were best friends, sharing everything every day when we were able to. There were many hilarious moments as well as sad ones…how to choose from 8 years of moments!
I visited her in South Africa before she moved back to the US for treatment. They drive on the left side of the road there, and deep ditches run alongside the roads to carry off heavy rain. Imagine Doreen driving at breakneck speed in a falling-apart sedan, lurching wildly from side to side, regardless of traffic and buses so overstuffed with Africans that arms and legs were sticking out the windows!
She lived life to the fullest whenever she could. The world is suddenly quiet now that she’s gone.
