Additional Thoughts: During 2006, I was treated for stage 2 breast cancer. Through this experience, I learned the hearts of so many fine people who helped me through this process and I will forever be grateful to those people. Also, I learned that staying involved with client matters during this time gave me a much needed diversion away from my own difficulties. Most of my clients did not know of my diagnosis because I did not want them to worry; however, I believe this experience has helped make me more sensitive to others' unspoken concerns in dealing with their own family planning legal matters. And now, with a good prognosis, I always want to be available to other women (and their families) who face this diagnosis.
