“The Gift!

Breast cancer is one of the best things to happen in my life. I know that sounds either crazy or like a cliché. From the time I was diagnosed, had a mastectomy, completed chemotherapy, and had five surgeries, I was surrounded by a community of friends (old and new) who helped me and my two sons. As a single mom who lost income-earning abilities, we would have been homeless and hungry without these amazing angels. The best gift of all is my ignited focus and commitment to serve others as an advocate, mentor, and resource as they trudge through their journey with breast cancer. If I had not had breast cancer, I would have missed out on many of the beautiful friendships I now have. While I would not have chosen breast cancer, I would not change it!”
