- I moved to Chandler in early November 2009. I get to LIVE with Stage IV metastatic breast cancer. On Feb. 3, 2004, had my left breast, 31 positive lymph nodes removed. Had lots of chemo and radiation. Was told I had 20% chance to survive 5 years. One year later, the cancer had spread to lymph nodes in my neck. Had surgery at that time, however, did not have recommended chemo. On Feb. 3, 2010, I will celebrate 6 years of survival. I would be so honored if I could participate in the free yoga classes.

Yes I am a cancer survivor. I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in late 2008. Cancer has touched my family way too many times. My father is also a thyroid cancer survivor and my 76 year old mother just successfully completed chemo/radiation for breast cancer. Unfortunately we are not all survivors as I did lose my brother at the age of 21 to Hodgkins. That is why my yoga practice is a celebration of my life and of my spirit. What inspires me to practice now is my increasing awareness of the fragility and shortness of life itself. I now take the preciousness of every moment to a new level.

It is our goal to reach out to the many survivors throughout Arizona on their cancer healing journey. I also hope to have classes for you within the next week or two. You will hear from me soon.
