“I, Douglas A. Ducey, Governor of the State of Arizona, do hereby extend greetings and best wishes for all observing the week of March 6 – 12, 2017, as Cancer Survivors’ 2nd Act Celebration Week.
I congratulate A2ndAct.org for its work in supporting and celebrating women survivors of all cancers, and I invite the citizens of Arizona to join me in recognizing these women survivors for their many contributions to the citizens of our beautiful state.”
What an honor for us all!
The darkest moment in my cancer journey was initially finding out in 2007. I was mortified. I could not wrap my mind around the diagnosis. I was only 36 years old and healthy as a horse. It was like it came out of the blue. Also, after the first round of chemotherapy, I had Neutropenia, low white blood cell count. The shots to remedy the condition made me so sick, I could not lift my head off the pillow.
It was some scary times. It was scary being bald. The wigs helped me so much but I really enjoy my own hair. I was happy to have my hair back.
