Survivor Diary: Eudene Miller Simmons

I was diagnosed on...
"June 30, 2010."

My immediate reaction was...
"Total denial. Though I ultimately came to terms with it."

Now, breast cancer means to me...
"A fight. A battle that I plan on winning, because I love life."

I'd tell someone recently diagnosed with breast cancer to...
"Accept your faith. God has a plan for you, and you are never going to be alone."

I'm inspired by...
"My family, my friends, and my job. " [Editor's note: Eudena helps mentally challenged men in a group home.]

I'm pretty fantastic at...
"Talking to people and making them feel good about themselves."

I get stressed out by...
"The stupid people that still believe they can't get breast cancer if it doesn’t run in their family."

I unwind by...
"Listening to music, dancing, spending time with family and friends, and reading."

If I were to stand in the middle of the street and scream something, it would be...
"Hurry up and find a cure!"

Breast cancer is...
"A sudden road block that takes a lot of time to get around. But with good care you can surpass it, and come out on top."
