"I had the incredible opportunity to attend Life Beyond Cancer in 2001. It was a life-changing experience that motivated me 1) professionally as a registered nurse; 2) personally as a breast cancer survivor; and 3) politically as a volunteer and advocate for cancer care needs in my own rural community."
"Life Beyond Cancer changed my life drastically. Before attending the LBC 2003 Retreat, I was a lost soul. While there I was transformed; I stopped feeling sorry for myself and decided to renew. I found myself- the strong part of me that was robbed by cancer. I also found that cancer didn't rob me at all! It was more of an awakening of not giving up my life to cancer. I also found out how much I could help other people. I took my experience and went back to my community and started a support group and awareness organization."
