This journey will not stop. And we will still be living like warriors."
My heart is saddened by any death due to this disease, but it seems to hurt more when the death is of someone who was born after I graduated from high school. Thuong was a part of an online support group I'm a part of and roughly two weeks ago, she let us know that her options were exhausted and that it was time to stop all treatments. She died on March 17 at age 32. She leaves a legacy of being the founder of the Breast Cancer Network Vietnam. Breast disease is not often talked about in Asian cultures and she worked tirelessly to aid women who felt they had no other voice. http://bcnv.org.vn/…/News-and…/Please-live-like-warrior.html The website says about her, "Though she was [sic] resting in peace, all her works will be continued and followed by millions of members, volunteers, the youth in Viet Nam and all over the world.
This journey will not stop. And we will still be living like warriors."

God's Story_I believe we all have a story. This blog records my story and how I've lived with breast cancer both as a primary disease and a terminal disease. I believe this is all a part of God's story for my life. This blog unapologetically includes all areas of my life: my faith, my family and my advocacy for change in the metastatic breast cancer world. Archives
