According to the Cancer Treatment Centers of America, there is currently a 5% survival rate after five years. Prior to her diagnosis, she was completely ignorant of the cancer process and didn’t even know the difference between chemo and radiation. This book was written with the hope of helping others who receive a cancer diagnosis, to better understand how to navigate their journey, be better prepared for the unknown and to hopefully gain some knowledge from her experiences. She recently retired as Director of Program Management from a large aerospace company and graduated from Purdue University with an MBA. She has one son in the United States Marine Corps, Ashley, daughter-in-law, Amy, and a beautiful granddaughter, Elizabeth. She resides in the sleepy little town of Atwater, California.view less
