Thoughts from Karen:

By Guest Contributor

  • Karen-SmileFlowersWhen I see someone with a scarf around her head and obviously going through chemo, I always approach her and simply say “I hope you are having a good day, I’m a 12 year survivor, I understand.”
  • My wonderful family support is still there.  They will always be there for me, that will never stop.
  • My cancer was discovered by a mammogram. It was not found by touch.  I preach mammograms whenever I can. Had I missed that particular mammogram, I would not be telling this story.
