This book initially started life as a journal when my world was suddenly turned upside-down and inside-out, with an unexpected diagnosis of breast cancer. With such a diagnosis comes reflection on the life you have lived, and you wonder if indeed it could have been caused by:1) Lifestyle-Trauma, 2)Diet, 3)Stress, 4) Environment, or 5 Poverty (does this really have bearing in contracting cancer?)The reason I mention this is that there is an ongoing debate as to the cause of breast cancer. So, I would like to share with you my past, present and future lives to see if indeed my diagnosis was brought on by environment/Stress/and the life we led.
