Illuminade is a blogging reflection of a life turned upside down by breast
cancer. With the love and support of family, she travels the breast cancer survival journey blogging the positive, the
good, the hopeful moments - the mostly pleasant and life-affirming moments - she encounters along the way. Illuminade
points her readers to the story of Abigail
"Nabby" Adams, daughter of United States president John Adams. In 1811, when Nabby Adams was 42 years
old, she discovered a lump in her breast. The essay of her breast cancer experience, two hundred years ago, the medical
treatments available, and what Nabby had to endure, is chilling.Note: The contents of this blog are for informational purposes only and should not be construed as medical advice or substitute for professional care. For medical emergencies, dial 911!

1. Thank you for sharing this link. Have you seen my breast cancer blog? It was reviewed on the front page of the personal section last July along with a (postage-stamp size) full-color reproduction of one of my fish paintings I did while undergoing radiation. I get such appreciative emails from women going through the breast cancer. A single, self-supporting artist over sixty, I use art and writing to deal with mine. Perhaps you could check it out. I found you on my breast cancer news update on my home page, but my blog has never been mentioned there. Check it out? Thanks so much. Mary
