Hope Floats

I've met a number of survivors along the way and each one gives me hope. But so many of them were 20-30 years older than me when diagnosed. This weekend I met a woman who was diagnosed with cancer when she was 28, between the birth of her daughter and son. Her son is now my age, so I guess she's around a 30 year survivor. And she had a child after breast cancer! Everything I read paints an ugly picture of breast cancer in young women, so it was so wonderful for me to meet a real person who has beaten the beast!
