My first published work is titled "it is what it is...beating breast cancer using chemo, radiation and email". This book follows my journey through breast cancer from start to finish, through the highs and the lows. Using a unique format, I've tried to capture the candid, random thoughts of both myself and the people around me while going through chemo and radiation. After starting an email chain my family and friends were informed, enlightened, amused and most importantly not afraid for me. I can't say I enjoyed the experience, but I am totally enjoying the outcome! If this book helps just one person face "the monster" with courage, humor and dignity it will be well worth the work.

About me...
I live in Succasunna, NJ and have a degree from Fashion Institute of Technology/SUNY. I gave up that world to be a full time mom back in 1988, a job I still enjoy every day. I was a busy wife and mom when cancer struck in 2005. I relied on my family and friends to keep my head above water and they didn't let me down. I continued to work part time, volunteered for anything needed at the local high school and remained totally involved in my daughters? lives. Today I am divorced, working full time, am happy and most importantly I am cancer free.
