By Gillian Pulford
The spotlight shone as she stood
De-robed-blindfolded
Devoid of the familiar
Guided to the table – she lay down, because they told her to
Kind words deflected by an iron curtain of fear
Bang they shot
Bang, they shot again
Transported to another world
Was she dead?
No, at least not yet
But a different path in a parallel world lay ahead
And there was no guide

Surviving Breast Cancer provides breast cancer support, events, and webinars at no cost to you! Whether you are looking to gain more knowledge on a particular topic or meet up with other breast cancer survivors, we have something for everyone.
Our standing appointment on Thursdays is for all stages. We also host specific breakout groups once a month for specific stages and subtypes such as Metastatic breast cancer, and Inflammatory Breast Cancer, etc.
The Book Club meets the first Sunday of every month at 11 am ET. You are welcome to join each month or pick and choose your month based on your availability and the book we are reading.
Through art, writing, and other creative modalities, we hold the power to manage our stress, make sense of our now, and relax into moments of stillness.
Free, monthly, online classes in restorative yoga, yoga for breast cancer, and Zumba.
