My Story
Lebanon County
Diagnosed at age 37
We met as young mothers so we were friends before we had breast cancer – both diagnosed at age 37. When facing cancer so young, we didn’t know if we would see our boys – ages 3,7,10,12 – graduate from high school. Thanks to excellent medical care and good follow-up, we saw our boys graduate from college and grow into men. We continue to be there for each other through medical tests, medical crises, and family emergencies. We celebrate the good times and travel together. Recently we both became grandmothers. Yes, breast cancer changed our lives. If it weren’t for our friendship, the journey after breast cancer would have been harder. As it is, it’s been a blast! There truly is life after cancer! We’re here to prove it.
