Every Survivor Has A Story - Here's Mine

Somewhere, somehow, while trying to make sense of my breast cancer diagnosis, I stumbled upon Wendy Nielsen, a blogger and writer (is that redundant?) and her fabulous "Breast Cancer 101" series and have been a follower ever since. How I wish I had found her BEFORE my surgery! Wendy's story of her own diagnosis and treatment are inspiring, and she is now a devoted advocate for breast cancer research and awareness. 

Earlier this summer, Wendy asked for volunteers interested in being part of a series she wanted to do during the month of October highlighting how life goes on after a breast cancer diagnosis, how it's the beginning of a new story, and much to my delight, she chose me to participate, to be one of 21 breast cancer survivors to share stories of survival and hope. 

I would be so honored if you would visit Wendy's website and read my story. And then come around and read the ones to follow during the rest of October. And make sure you read the first story in Wendy's series, a touching account by one tough cookie, Catherine Brunelle.

Here's the link. Give it a click and a read. Pretty please?
