I was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma blood cancer at the young age of thirty-seven when my back collapsed due to lesions. My world was changed in an instant. This journey has been a roller coaster of physical, mental and emotional challenges. There is currently no cure for my cancer, however, I choose to continue to fight this battle to maintain the title of survivor. I enjoy being in the kitchen, photography, scrapbooking and traveling. We own a second home near Destin, Florida and visit there as often as we are able. Our dog, Joey, is an adorable six year old Cavapoo who we love dearly and spoil often.
