On July 31, 2008, my life changed forever. I was diagnosed with breast cancer. It was at that time that I realized, more than ever before, that my life was in God's hands. It was at that time that I became a SURVIVOR, a member of a club I never chose to join but, nevertheless, I was suddenly a member.
I never asked God, "Why me?" However I did ask, "Why did this happen?" I strongly believed that I should write a book in which I could share my experience and my faith with other women, who may have to travel the same path I did. My book, "Breast Cancer - A Nurse's Journey from Diagnosis through Reconstruction," was published in April of 2009.
As a result of my book, I am now corresponding with women all over the United States, who have a need to talk to someone who has been where they are. It is truly a blessing to be able to do that. Now I consider every day a gift. Life is good.
