DISCOVER THE CANCER CHRONICLES

Welcome to The Cancer Chronicles. Here I will share and maybe over share my experiences since being diagnosed with breast cancer. I’m writing it for many reasons: I can’t tell 20 people how my day was especially if it sucked but they love me and deserve to know. Also for my kids, who may look back and read it and gain insight...and finally to put a human side to something so many women go through alone. Their stories maybe didn’t get told, so here’s one.
