Being diagnosed with breast cancer is quite overwhelming. There are many thoughts and fears that will go through your mind when that happens. I know that was true for me. When I was diagnosed with breast cancer in September of 2011, I was overcome with the same fear as anyone would be. I am an artist, a photographer, a mother, a friend, a lover and an activist. One thing that I wasn’t sure I was prepared for was the role of cancer fighter. There is a lot to have to take in and understand – but no one is an island. No one fights cancer alone. Bridge Breast Network Receives GrantDuring the past 19 years, Susan G. Komen Race For The Cure of Greater Ft. Worth has funded more than $17 million in local grants for life saving breast health education, screening and treatment. The Bridge Breast Network was one of eleven recipients of the Greater Ft. Worth Affiliate’s efforts. The $100,000 grant was awarded on January 12th.
