How I Survive Cancer

I do yoga every day and eat an excellent diet.

I listen to my doctors but also look for cures they cannot give me.  Massage therapy is great for the resulting scar from the thoracotomy.
 

How I Fight for a Cure

Education.
 

My Caring Words of Encouragement

The despair upon finding out you have cancer is one that is so deep and personal that I found it really hard to share with my friends and family.  I am only 32 and a mother of two very small kids.

I know I am "lucky" but really I would rather have not had cancer.

Warm love and wishes to those who are newly diagnosed, I would not relive those early days for anything.  The not knowing is the hardest part and now that I am post-treatment I can say with certainty that you will get through this and maybe be surprised at how strong you really are.
