    About this ebook

    Cancer snuck up on me when I least expected it. But I imagine everyone probably feels that way. When I got my diagnosis, I was relatively young and otherwise healthy. I was a busy mom, wife, employee and aspiring author. Priorities shifted, and so did my perspective.
    Throughout my experience, I sought to become educated and I learned many things – some tangible, some intangible, but all of which I’ll share with you in this quick story. My hope is to further educate and encourage every woman, even if cancer never touches you or anyone you love.

      Introduction

      My name is Michelle Grey. In early autumn 2009 I was coming up on my forty-first birthday. I was a wife, a mother of four kids (eighteen, fifteen, eleven, and ten), a full-time employee, and I was working on writing my first manuscript. Then, my life and my perspective changed forever. I was told I had ovarian cancer.

      Cancer. Six letters. One little word. The word that took my mother two years before. The word that might apply to others, but not me. Not yet. Up to that point, I’d never been ill, had never broken a bone, never even been in the hospital except for childbirth. So, perhaps you can understand my innate sense of invincibility and immortality. If cancer was something I was going to deal with personally, surely it would wait until later. Some distant, future time and place. Not now – when my kids were young. Not now – when my husband and I were finally getting ahead. Not now –
