I am a physician who has been treating children, adolescents and adults with disabilities for almost 30 years. It has been through my work with my patients and their families that I have learned that one of the most powerful medicines is the medicine of hope and support. I am just starting my journey with cancer. I hope through this site that I can help others with cancer in finding support, information and resources. I have decided that I will use my cancer to empower me and help others. Hope is a very good thing. I hope you can find your inner strength on your journey.

This site is divided into two main sections: My Journey and Pages

My Journey is a journal of my experience with cancer and my treatment.   I hope to share with you my feelings, struggles, and my triumphs.  The first part of My Journey are  my most recent posts.  All of my posts are categorized into  the topics that follow: Breast Cancer information, Preparing, and Health and Wellness.  You can start at the beginning  here or see my most recent post  which are listed in the right hand column under My Journey

Pages is an informational section.  I have tried to put in information that I found useful.  It is a work in progress so check back as I fill in more information.

I wish you well on your own journey whether it is for your own cancer or cancer of a loved one.   I have chosen the lotus as my symbol because it  is a flower that blooms despite the murky water it grows in.  May you find your way to bloom through this difficult time.
