My Breast Cancer Story

My life journey, especially since my second diagnosis of early stage breast cancer, has included learning the basics about the science of breast cancer, advocating for research funding and starting this blog.

Welcome! I'm a cancer research advocate who was diagnosed with breast cancer more than 20 years ago at the age of 35. I write about developments in cancer research and a variety of cancer and health-related topics from the patient advocate perspective.
