Dona Shares Her Motivation For Sharing Her Cancer Story (VIDEO)

Dona:
I knew that I could help them. I just knew because I have been through it. I was getting well and I wanted them to see that they could go through this and have the good attitude, that maybe all of them won’t, but so many of them will recuperate and have a life. They could see me and see how I was at this point, and it not only helped them, it helps me to go back and do that. And I wished someone would have been there when I was going through it because it is hard when you go through that. You can’t tell someone it is going to be a piece of cake because it isn’t.
