Hey Rhonda, what an awesome way to tell your story! I graduated with you from FCHS. I also was diagnosed with breast cancer 8 Yrs. ago. After a mastectomy, chemo and 5 yrs. on tamoxifen, I am doing great!! So glad to hear you are doing well and sharing your story in such a positive way! Maybe I’ll see you at our reunion! Take care! 🙂

Glad to hear your story and inspiration for other women fighting the fight. I am very aware and always considerate of the women I anesthetize for their lumpectomy/mastectomy. I feel blessed to be put in a position to assist in this time for these women. Hope you are well–PJ
