I recently was diagnosed with breast cancer. This was the beginning of 2014. I went through treatments and had a masectomy. This totally changed my life. I take one day at a time and I know what others may be going through. Love and support is what is needed to get them through. I had volunteered in 1993 at the office because I wanted to help. But I could not appreciate at that time what it was really all about or what they were actually going through.I have a lot of office experience, which I do enjoy. But I would also like to be able to personally help them though both their journey to recovery and/or with the pain and frustrations which often make it difficult along the way. Thank you for your consideration . It would mean the world to me to help others that are going through what I did.
