Rhonda,

Like you, I do not want BC to define me. I know it will always be a part of my life, but when I meet a new person I don't describe myself as having had BC. Does any other person who introduce themselves add in their ailments? I would bet most don't. Why should I?
Mind you, I am more than willing to help out anyone unfortunate enough to be diagnosed with it. Whatever experience I have had I am happy to share with others. I have also given my blood for further studies. I will do anything that can to help in the advancement and the treatment and cure of this horrible disease. But I am me first and foremost, a mother, a wife, a daughter, a sister and an aunt. One who happens to have had bc. I just want it to be a chapter in my life not the whole story.

Sincerely,
Ita
