First of all I am so grateful and thankful that I can say I am a 28yr. breast cancer survivor.  For that reason I feel the least I can do is be an “encourager ” to those who have just been recently diagnosed and are now going through chemo as I did because I can honestly say to them,” I know how you feel”. 

I look for opportuites to  help brighten someones day and this year at the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure, while those of us who where survivors received our carnations I happened to ask the lady beside me how long since she was diagnosed with breast cancer.  She happened to be a 3 yr. survivor and when she heard  I had 28 yrs. behind me she gave me the biggest hug and ” thank you ” and said that I made her day.

We must  never give up.

Sincerely,
