Victoria Behm, 59, an artist living in New York City, was diagnosed with stage IIa invasive ductal carcinoma breast cancer when she was 57 years old. Using her skills as an artist, she created an illustrated notebook of her nine-month journey through breast cancer treatment.
This can be enjoyed by all breast cancer patients at any stage of their journey, and especially interesting to the newcomers. Here is a 21 page slide show of her story:
