Dedication

To Joyce Brown, breast cancer survivor and Certified Breast Patient Navigator for the Baptist Healthcare Oncology Services of Corbin, Kentucky, for your help in clarifying the medical procedures needed by my character.

Any mistakes I’ve made are totally my own.

God bless all those brave women and men who face the battle with cancer every day with courage and humor.

And to all you ladies out there: Please do monthly exams, yearly clinical exams, and mammograms when your doctors recommend them!!

God bless our military men and women. Your sacrifices do not go unnoticed.
