A space where you can find comfort, love and support in your journey with cancer and life's other hurdles.
I have heard from numerous cancer patients that they feel alone in their walk with cancer.
It is my desire that this site will allow for respectful, thoughtful dialogue about life and cancer.
My story
In 2010, I thought I had a perfect life. I was the clinical director at a rape crisis center, had a part time private therapy practice, a renewed relationship with my partner, and was training for a triathlon. I knew where I was going and what I was doing. Then I suddenly lost my map! I was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer. I was not sure if I would survive and whether it was the cancer or the treatment that would end my life. So I wrote a love letter to my two daughters. This love letter was the foundation to my book, “I’d Rather Love Life than Hate Cancer”, available at Amazon, and barnesandnoble.com.
I wish I could say that nine years later, I have walked through the fire and I am healthy. Instead, I will say that cancer has become a part of my life’s journey. But so has faith, gratitude, and so many other gifts. This blog is my effort to write honestly about my experience, emotions, and thoughts. I hope you find some piece of it helpful to you. Blessings!
