I think the most important thing I learned from my breast cancer is that no one is immune to this disease. Those of us who care for cancer patients come to expect that this affords us some immunity but it does not!! Anyone can get breast cancer, male, female, young, old, educated or non-educated, health care professional or not.

The other thing I have grown to learn from my breast cancer experience is that what does not kill us makes us stronger. Cancer can help us to re-prioritize our lives and place those things that truly matter to us back on top. Isn’t it sad that sometimes it takes something like cancer to do this in our lives?

Lastly, we can take control of our post cancer lives and make positive changes in terms of lifestyle, diet and nutrition that can make us stronger, healthier and happier in the long run. Cancer can be a gift in many ways; the key is to walk away from it a different and perhaps better person.
