WHY?

WHY?
Why is there breast cancer?
Why do some people get it, but others don’t?
Why do some survive, but others don’t?
Why is there a high incidence of breast cancer on Long Island?
All these questions, all these Ys…but who knows?
That’s why we are raising money, to get answers to all these whys!

Most people react to a cancer diagnosis with “Why me?”

My reaction was “What do I do now?
How am I going to beat this?”

I didn’t ask “why” because it was too late for that. Instead I planned my fight to win this battle.

I preferred to look for the silver lining; I’d always wanted smaller breasts anyway!

I think my positive attitude helped me cope through it all.
