I came into this world the summer of 1956 after my parents moved to Quebec city following my Dad's discharge from his term with the Canadian Armed Forces. At the point when I finished high school and junior college my father's job required a move to the West coast. Upon moving to the West coast, my parents decided to go in different directions. We kids were growing up and looking at moving out on our own. After marrying, climbing the corporate ladder, raising 3 children, and acquiring my MBA, I discovered a lump in my left breast. This is the compilation of my journaling, treatment choices and research, options presented and outcomes. This publication now allows this woman's story to be openly shared with everyone. The collection of her writings are supplemented with feelings which were expressed to family and friends, written at other times in her life by her and written at the end of her life by those who love her. May you find lessons to be learned and appreciate the insight in her words.
