From No where to now here! 'Just one small step' Journey into the world of the unknown. Yes! I started alone. The cancer care journey was typically from the point of no where! Questions galore! what if I ....... was a constant nagging thought, Then the heart ticks to proceed and the mind goes quiet! Just one small step towards my dream. The compassion and empathy are the basic building blocks that gave courage to move ahead, face challenges and squash the obstacles. It is the team that came along together,  taking countless steps.  A travel started had many speed breakers and dead ends. But always V(we) paused and found solutions , brain stormed that resulted and results in new goals and new ideas at VCare but never called it a day.
