Great Article...hopeful..lately..

on the board there has been some postings regarding the concerns
of recurrence, which plagues many bc survivors. When I was a
young girl a doctor once told me, "The mind heals the body." I did not
come to understand this statment until years later.

I have come to understand my bc in that I believe I was given a gift of illness to see how special and fragile life is. The gift was not wanted,
but it did teach a valubalbe lesson, to love and live fully in my every day
to day life. A positive attitude will give you the courage to go on when
things get rough. I say to myself daily, "I can beat this."

Blessings to all my Beautiful Her2 Sisters,
Jean
