How I Survive Cancer

I had a carcinoid tumor in my left bronchus and had a lobectomy almost 10 years ago. This was my second bout with cancer and all we can do is live life to its fullest and do the best we can. I have a wonderful and supportive husband, 2 beautiful kids and a great family. I swim, exercise, and work for Swim Across America - an organization that raises money to support cancer research through swimming.

My Caring Words of Encouragement

Live life to its fullest each and every day. Enjoy the love and support of your family and friends. Don't take anything for granted. Concentrate on what's important!
