Diagnosed with breast cancer in 2016, Joyce was shocked to learn that 1 out of 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. Even more shocking were the insensitive statements made by family and friends.

Even the most positive prognosis will have hurdles, challenges, side effects, and fears. It is a long road with twists and turns and sometimes less-than-ideal circumstances that no one talks about.

Walk in her shoes and learn how you could brighten a patient’s day. Understand, words really do have meaning; learn what you might say but, more importantly, what not to say. And just know, silence can be the most hurtful of all. Be there not only in the beginning but through it all, because this beast can return time and time again, which is the scariest of all.

Joyce tells her story to share what she has learned–the true meaning of support and friendship, because this could be you, your wife, friend, sister, or daughter.
