I am a 3 time survivor since 1990. I know what it is like to be the patient, the friend of someone going on this journey, and to be the family member. This is not a fun journey or a journey that I would want anyone to have to take. But having said that, I am grateful that I did not take this journey alone. God, faith, education, medical personnel, family and friends played an important role in my survival. Since 1990 I have been involved with the ACS's CanSurmount Program, and The LINC Program Coordinator (which I helped form at a local hospital) (Listen, Inform, Nurture and Care are not only the motto to live by, but a way of sharing of oneself with others taking this journey). I pray for the day when there will be no more newly diagnosed cancer patients and no family or friends who will be shocked by their loved ones 'news'.
