I've learned that it's OK to make space for both. For the next year and a half, the same lymph node was flagged as suspicious, leaving me in a constant state of limbo. The lymph node that had caused me so much anxiety — the last holdout — was clear. Most of all, I've learned to enjoy the life that I was given a second chance to live. I've learned to cherish this incredible gift while hoping to be here with him as long as possible.

For young people undergoing long-term treatment or struggling with mental health issues, Norwegian company No Isolation developed the AV1 robot, which can take a child’s place in class, serving as their eyes, ears, and voice, and helping them stay connected with their classmates. “They make the child important”The UK’s Chartwell Cancer Trust has a supply of 25 AV1 robots it provides to children with serious illness. Founding trustee Michael Douglas told CNN that the robots enable children to stay engaged with their education even while in intensive care. Last August, No Isolation rolled out AV1 Academy, a library of training materials and resources aimed at improving the usability of the robot. “Removing that pressure to be on camera, we’ve seen, increases the likelihood of the robot being used for students with emotionally based school avoidance,” Salisbury said.
