I found something to look forward to everyday.

I would make baby quilts or crochet blankets for the local hospital.

Also, we would get to have our granddaughters once a week in the summer. My job was to develop Grandpatents Camp for them.
I tried to swim daily at the local health center.
Taking my mind off my condition helped a lot.
I also would read Dr. Love’s Breast Book as if it were my Bible! It walked me through all of the treatments, side effects, and mental roadblocks.
Even after my treatment is completed it helps to reassure me.
