Cancer-free with a whole new purpose in life because of the experience I had from Cancer. It may sound unusual yet that one moment in my life, hearing, “You have Cancer,” gave me a voice, an unexplainable power, a loud and urgent shove to show up in the world with a message. Time to be visible and no longer hide behind “my mother’s skirt” anymore like I did when I was a shy little girl. Cancer gave me the ability to see and be seen.
