Message from the guest editor: “The intention of this issue is to offer conscious proof that what you want exists. What you know to be true is true. And even if you have not yet been able to find that proof in your little corner of the world, it is our hope that that proof is now sitting here right in front of you, blazing that trail right here, right now.
Within this issue, you’ll find stories of trailblazers in the breast cancer space. Some of our writers have founded businesses, podcasts, and non-profit organizations. Some have written books and started blogs and websites. Some have found organizations that embody their advocacy desires with which to align. And some are still seeking what form their advocacy will take but feel a fire of change burning in their bellies. All are asking hard questions. We hope their stories will inspire you in your own life after diagnosis.
If you’ve been looking for a sign or feedback of this, whatever “this” means for you specifically, let me be the first to say: “Permission granted.” xx Leisse Wilcox”
