This is Who I Am:Five years ago, I thought I knew exactly where my life was heading for the next 30 years. After my own walk with cancer and losing my husband to pancreatic cancer in 15 months time, almost none of it will be the way I had mapped it. But those experiences have and are shaping a new direction and I have chosen to open the Atlas to a new page... Choose new destinations... Do it with no co-pilot. Yet, here I am today, still writing the story and taking the trip, my way.This is What I Do:Loving Your Cancer: Seriously! Who Says It Has to Be A Battle?I am a Cancer Survivor, Author, Fundraiser, and Advocate who has been in the trenches as both a patient and a caregiver. As a Loving Warrior in the fight against the disease, I encourage people to take charge of their treatment and their journey by learning to own it, live it and love it like you really mean it. I want to see accelerated focus on prevention and greater funding for early detection of pancreatic cancer. A self-proclaimed “Lover not a Fighter,” my book, Loving Your Cancer: Seriously! Who Says It Has to Be a Battle? will be out in March of 2014. You can become the Master of the Spiritual and Emotional side of the journey, own the approach and the attitude and give yourself permission to do it a different way.“You have cancer.” With three little words the journey begins. So, how will you take it? The choice is yours.
