Welcome

Help! I'm a Science Project

I wasn't supposed to get breast cancer. Despite the odds being in my favor, I received that diagnosis and underwent a double mastectomy, chemotherapy, radiation, and breast reconstruction. 

Through it all, I never lost my sense of humor, examples of which are sprinkled throughout my book, along with actual journal entries. You'll find hope and encouragement that, with faith in God, plus supportive family and friends, cancer can be overcome.
