Jennifer found me on the internet. She was looking for breast cancer blogs just after her diagnosis in September 2005. She wanted to read first-hand accounts of women who traveled before her on this path of uncertainty. So she found me and she read my story but she wanted more. So I led her to a few sites that I found to be helpful and inspirational and then something happened. Jennifer -- new to the cancer world and seeking information herself became a source of strength for me. I check her blog regularly and marvel at how she manages her world while battling cancer. She is 26 years old, a wife, and a mother of a 17-month-old daughter. She works full-time, attends college as she pursues a medical degree, and somehow makes it seem not-so-terribly-overwheming. Her blog is insightful, touching, powerful, and moving. A blog I would quickly recommend to others searching for spirited stories of breast cancer survivors.Note: The contents of this blog are for informational purposes only and should not be construed as medical advice or substitute for professional care.
