Breast Cancer Journal by Lise Melhorn Boe

$75.00 - Please contact 23 Sandy for current availability.
When I developed breast cancer, one of my medical people made a link between where I had grown up (two mining/smelting towns) and the cancer. I began to research other environment/health connections, and to keep a little visual diary of my breast cancer experiences, not just physical, but emotional and spiritual as well.
