I am a 37 year old female that has survived leukemia. I was diagnosed in 1/2000. i have done volunteer work to help other cope with cancer and to bring them hope and courage. I believe that the spirit has as much to do with recovery as does the medicine. I enjoy giving back and helping others, I think that it's why I am still here. I had a lot of spiritual experiences during my recovery, as do most cancer patients, and would like to share my journey with others. I am also a recovering alcoholic (6-1/2 years) so I've battled my share of diseases. I feel very blessed for everyday that I am given, and would like to be able to tell my story. Pleas contact me if you wish. A little about me....I am 37, a certified interior designer, a Harley Davidson Owner and enthusiast, and have a very loving family and lots of wonderful friends. Oh yeah...did I mention that I'm cute as a button???? And a smart-ass??? A sense of humor is a very important thing when dealing with recovery...from anything!!
