Alison’s Bio
At age 34, I was diagnosed with stage 1B breast cancer. I am trying to learn to live one day at a time and am using this journey to help me find inner peace. I am married to a wonderful guy. I have friends who are like family and family who are like friends. I have a big goofy lab named Tiggy who keeps me laughing. I like spending time near coastal areas and being creative. I hope to do more of that in the future. I am really lucky. Wishing everyone health, peace, love and happiness. Love, AlRSS

I wouldn’t call myself a hypochondriac. I would say I am hyper-vigilant about my health. Well, it finally paid off…big time. On May 22, I found two small lumps in my left breast. Hyper-vigilance means that I had a Dr. … Continue reading
