Why Sun Safety is a Must for Survivors
As a breast cancer survivor, my journey didn’t end when treatment did. Survivorship means continued strength, and continued vigilance.

Cancer Changed My 40th Plans, But Made My 41st Even Sweeter
I had big plans for turning 40 including an island vacation with friends, and a big milestone birthday party.
But three and a half months before my birthday, I was diagnosed with breast cancer and all plans were cancelled.
Benefits of Working Through Cancer Treatment
I was extremely fortunate to be able to work from home during breast cancer treatment, which may not be possible for everyone.
But if it is possible for you, even part-time or from home, it can come with some unexpected emotional benefits.
