Woman Living With Breast Cancer Shares Courage and Hope
Dale Martin of Dauphin recalls six years living with breast cancer after a 42nd birthday diagnosis. She describes the emotional wait for biopsies, a modified radical mastectomy, six months of chemo and 25 radiation treatments, and a decision to remove the other breast as a precaution. Now active in peer support, she helps others through Hope Breast Cancer Information and Resource Centre and Reach to Recovery while cherishing daily gifts and creative outlets.
