| Introduction | After having had had surgery to remove a cancerous breast lump, and lymph nodes, I received chemotherapy and radiation as further treatment. Recently I have discovered that the cancer has metastasized to the bones. I am a grandmother of three wonderful kids. I love telling stories. Was born in Puerto Rico, and have lived in Canada for 43 years. I am the mother of two adult children. Speak English, Spanish and some Greek. Have managed a social service agency serving immigrants and refugees. Now work as a chaplain at a medium sized hospital in Southwestern Ontario. |
