Kalvelage Matthews is a nine year survivor of ovarian cancer and a seven year
survivor of breast cancer. These two unrelated cancer "adventures"
gave her a passionate dedication to easing the journey for other people facing
similar challenges. A writer with a degree in Biology from UC Berkeley, she has
worked both in medical office settings and as a hospice volunteer. Her
inspirational, hopeful and practical tips provide a blueprint for people
beginning treatment. Her insights into "the patient's point of view"
have been used for professional training for hospice volunteers and social
workers. She currently counsels newly-diagnosed cancer patients.view less
