How did you find out you had cancer?

 Breast Self Examination

 Who did you tell about your diagnosis first and how did you tell them?  

 My daughter Katrina on our Girls Night Out.   We were having a pillow fight.

 How did you cope with the diagnosis?  

Talking to other survivors with the diagnoses and joining a support group.

How did family and friends show you support and encouragement?                  

By listening.

 How long have you been cancer free?

14years

 What advice would you give someone battling cancer right now?

Your wings may be a little damaged now, but you can still reach for the sky… you are hurt but you can still dream.

How did you get through the tough days?   

Prayer and encouragement from my family and friends. 

 How would you answer “If I knew then, what I know now I would have…”  

I would have laughed more and would not sweat the small stuff.

Who is in your support system?    

My family and my support group Just Between Friends.

If you could go anywhere in the world on vacation, where would it be?            

Africa

If you could possess any superpower, what would it be?

 To make Breast Cancer disappear.

 How would you describe yourself in three words?

  Kind – Compassionate – Considerate

 Are there any other messages you would like to share?

 Just do it…Breast Self Examination. Stay Positive, be encouraged, and hopeful.

    The Arkansas Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure was incorporated in 1992. To date the Arkansas Affiliate has held 15 Komen Races for the Cure in downtown Little Rock raising almost $13.5 million.

    The monies raised fund grants and educational programs providing support and early detection information to thousands of Arkansas women and their families. About 75 percent of the funds stay in Arkansas, with the remaining 25 percent goes to national research grants.

    The Race provides an opportunity to honor breast cancer survivors and to remember those who have lost the battle.
