When l was diagnosed with breast cancer afew years back,I reacted like most who re-
ceive a cancer diagnosis, the first thing that came to mind was a"death sentence". 41 ,
instead of complaining, I decided to look for the 42 side of it.
I realized that l was about to 43 a new beginning.I knew that I had to develop and
gain 44 from all my experiences, Even with the pEun I had to 45 through each diag-
nosis, and all the 46 I've dealt with all my life, l stin felt truly lucky.1 47 niyself
that I still have my life, so why axnI to 48 ?
One day,I had an unusual experience.I tumed that experience into a 49 aIld I
called it "Peace". Writing had become therapy(冶疗)for me.I took that poem, along with
many others I had 50 during my breast cancer period and placed them in book form.1
was 51 enough to have that book published.I later had another inspirational children's
book 52 ,with a third one 53 .I'm hoping that anyone who has the chance to read
my first book of poems will benefit from it. My poems are from the heart, and l wish to have
a positive 54 on someone who's ill,1 55 believe when you survive a sernous 56
like cancer, it's for a reason, and l want to Live to 57 exactly what that is for me.
That's what I'mallabout now? inspiration.1 would have 58 become awriter, pro-
ducing inspirational poems and stories, if I had not gone through all that I did.I'm atrue
example that you can 59 cancer9 as long as you have faith and anow that faith to 60
your path.
