If you or someone you know went through cancer, you know how tough it is. You know how quickly it can change the direction of your life, destroy the plans you had in place, and I could go on and on. Trust me, I know it first-hand. I was 32 years old when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I was a single woman focused on my career and thought nothing would stop me. Then that lump in my breast stopped me in my tracks and everything changed. I no longer felt powerful; I gave up on my career and forget about a personal life. How was I supposed to date or think about my future when I didn't even think I had a future? Yes, I know this all sounds negative, but that's how I felt. No need to sugarcoat it.
The good news is that was eight years ago, and I feel better now than I did then
