Re: Will you share how you "live your legacy," with me?
I'm a big believer in "paying it forward". I like to share my experience, strength and hope with others, especially newcomers. This very Board is a perfect example of that in action. You all were here for me when I was new and terrified so I want to pay it back
I also became a patient navigator at my cancer center. I guess it's the old psych nurse in me that hopes my legacy is that I helped someone as I was helped
Keep the faith
