Lisa and Paul Berger for helping put my thoughts into words.
Mary Heery, AOCNS, CBCN, APRN, Breast Survivorship Program; and Zarek Mena, OPN-CG, Breast Health Program Manager; of The Smilow Family Breast Health Center for initially listening to the project idea when it was nothing but an idea, and supporting me the entire way to its’ presentation.
My physicians, family, and friends for their faith that this project could actually happen.
Last but certainly not least, 13 trusting individuals who allowed me to ask personal questions about their diagnoses as well as their thoughts and feelings; trusted me to come up with a way to conceptualize their stories; and for allowing their stories to be shared with the public in order to help others going through similar situations. I’m so glad to call each of these people “friend”.
