Our governor (Jodi Rell) became governor a few months before being diagnosed with breast cancer. She is fine now and is doing a great job.
As a prostate cancer survivor who preaches there's usually room for hope (ConquerProstateCancer.com), I truly appreciate your sharing your brief upbeat report about a breast cancer survivor, who found she was able to run for governor of Washington State in 2004 and was reelected last year.
Your messages are always thought-provoking, inspiring, and "from the heart."

Good health...to us all!
