I am a wife, mother, and a nurse. I am a Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) section hiker. Now, I am also a cancer survivor. As a nurse, I have had plenty of patients with cancer, but nothing truly prepared me for having cancer myself. Eventually I found a focus to deal with my cancer and its treatments. It was to continue the PCT. Through surgeries, chemotherapy treatments, radiation, multiple infections, a roller coaster of emotions and chemo brain; my husband and I hiked, and hiked, and hiked. This book is intended to be a resource guide and inspiration for cancer patients, and those who love and support them. Live your life, not cancer. For hikers out there, we have resources and information about section hiking the PCT and ways to help prepare for the trail. This is not a walk in the park. Every cancer survivor story is different. Here is mine.
