Hello friend,If you found this book, most likely you or a loved one have been diagnosed with cancer. You probably feel a ton of different emotions, just like I did.

I wrote this book with you in mind. As I journeyed through cancer, I wrote about my experiences, hoping to someday help you.

And looking back-this may sound strange-I now see it was a blessing to get sick. I watched for the blessings along the way.

I met so many awesome people through it all. Not just doctors and nurses, but people who also had some type of cancer.

They inspired me and kept me going. I was also blessed to have supportive daughters and friends who were there for me.

But ultimately, I had to fight for myself. You see, I had spent most of my life caring for others.

I put others before myself and really didn't know how to ask for what I needed or wanted. Cancer was a wake-up call for me.

I had barely traveled or dreamed. I had fallen asleep to what life can truly be.

But cancer . .

. cancer gave me the gift of life.

Choose life, and you will not be sorry. With love,Heather.
