Re: Who We Are
Hi all. My name is linda. and I was dxed w/ stage IIIC seven yrs ago. I am married to my true soul mate who didn't run for the hills when I was dxed. I have one grown dtr and 3 Grands and feel blessed every day.
I have always. known Breast Cancer in my life as it has coursed through the veins in all of my mother's family and sadly they are all lost to this dx. I became a nurse in my early yrs, but was never passionate about my work. Now, I live in a tropical paradise now, focused happy as a clam am totally committed to my my passion, which is working with Breast Cancer Patients.
