Hi There. This will be an informal introduction to me, Kay Metres, aka Katherine Metres.
I'm a writer and therapist, raised in coastal Rhode Island and now living in suburban Chicago. I wrote this book because I needed to record for myself the big changes in me that resulted from breast cancer. As I wrote, I wondered if my words would comfort other women, and, let's face it, there are thousands of us who have or had this disease. But what has surprised and delighted me as I give talks on this topic is the universality of the growth that adversity brings. For example, a man told me it helped him deal with his prostate cancer, and a young woman said it is helping her deal with her divorce. My neighbor said it is helping her with her financial fears. Wow. I feel so much a part of the human community after publishing this book. We never know what burdens others are carrying.
I hope to update this author page regularly and I also hope it has some value for you, the reader.
That's it for now. God bless.
Kay
This is me, Kay, writing to you at the end of February. Next month it will be 3 years since my diagnosis and I'm hoping for a clear mammogram again. How are you doing?
It occurs to me that I have not given you any way to contact me and I want to rectify that. The best way to reach me is by email at kmetres@comcast.net. I will see your message promptly and I can respond to you easily.
If you want in-person help you may want to come into my office for a session of therapy or spiritual direction. I am available for both. If you're not in the Deerfield IL area, we might be able to meet over FaceTime or Skype. If I can help you, please let me know.
I hope that you are doing well. We sisters need to love and support each other and our families. I am all too aware of the toll loved ones experience when we are struggling. There are a lot of amazing men out there who help their women in generous ways. Of course, some are not able to, for a variety of reasons. I hope you have all the support you need and are not afraid to ask for help when you need it. it's still very hard for me to do it, but it's getting easier.
I wish you a shiny day and a grateful heart.
Blessings always,
Kay
