History of Ms. V

At age 60 a radiology healthcare professional. and educator for over 35 years I was diagnosed with breast cancer January 2014. Could not believe it. Recently separated from a husband of less than 2 years. I was unemployed and back in New York. I have elderly parentd abive ninety years old. Siblings living in Va. Ga. and California. The lack of family support was very difficult. Thrust into making decisions and hakf out of my mind I waited from 1/17/2014 to 3/27/2014. Longest two months of ny life. Get help, get support go on websites, write, talk interact with as many people as you can preferably family. Do not go it alone. On March 27th everything changed I am now happy with the new me. Be strong.
