Trying to Look at things a bit differently, a tool to get through it

Getting through breast cancer is hard. It's scary. I tend to look at things in a little different way than most people do, and I think it helped me and it might just be a tool to add to your arsenal of weapons in this fight as well.

Cancer's back and a sneeze broke my back!

I was diagnosed with breast cancer on May 15, 1006 (3:30 pm). After a mastectomy, chemo, radiation and 4 reconstruction surgeries I hoped I was done while realy not believing it.
