I attended my first breast cancer event in quite a while yesterday. I can be cynical about these kind of events, but it was pretty meaningful for me as I have slowly started to meet the team of the organization benefiting from the event, familiarize myself with their fabulous services (that truly impact thousands of women), and I had the opportunity to get better acquainted with some of our patients also attending the event.

Some way, some how, I met one patient among the hundreds of people that interacted with my team closely. I loved hearing her story and all about her life. It was beautiful to see her outlook change as she watched and met 8-year, 16-year, 30-year breast cancer survivors.

It was powerful. Perhaps for her, as well.
