Starting with breast cancer

Three Christmases ago I learned I had breast cancer for the second time, and for the second time my life was spared because of early detection.  Even though I lost both breasts and endured 18 months of hell, I emerged healthier in body and spirit, and now I gladly devote myself to supporting people whose lives have been touched my breast cancer.  I love to hear from women all over the country who are facing or recovering from some stage of treatment.  I am particularly interested in reconstructive surgery since I had the latest and best DIEP flap procedure and have a flat tummy to show for it.  I am a DIEP sister and will sign off with my motto

I am alive…and I have cleavage!
