If This Is a Gift... - Please Return to Sender!!!

A vibrant, healthy nurse was inadvertently thrust into the role of 'patient' when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in December, 2007. Raelyn describes her journey from diagnosis, through surgery, and finally, healing. She provides an in-depth description of her experience from the dual perspective of nurse turned patient. Although private in her personal affairs, Raelyn uses her 'adventure' to reach out to her readers and tell her story to advocate patient assertiveness and self-education.
