WE ARE ALL SURVIVORS

In 2010, I discovered I had cancer in both breasts. Two unrelated tumors making me twice lucky. They removed the tumors and the associated breasts, gave me very attractive replacements which are perkier than the old ones in an artificial implant sort of way. One has deflated somewhat, but I'm not having surgery to fix … Continue reading WE ARE ALL SURVIVORS
