Motherhood and Cancer: Yes We Can

Wednesday, November 5, 2008

I am celebrating! I hope you are, too.

I Am A Mother With Cancer

I am writing under the name Rose. I was brought up in rural east Tennessee and now live in suburban Maryland. My husband and I became proud parents to our son in January 2007. In September 2007, when I was 34 and my son was 8 months, I was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer. This blog is about being a mother with cancer; motherhood and cancer are each a part of my life and each affects the other. I have survived more than 5 years past diagnosis.
