Show Notes

Carolyn Breinich was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia just before her 14th birthday in 1994. From the beginning, Carolyn experienced many setbacks along the road to recovery including a bad experience with her resident doctor while hospitalized, a sometimes hard road after returning to school, bouts of depression, and while a Child Life Specialist, hearing that her boss thought she could not do her job properly BECAUSE she was a Pediatric Cancer survivor. 

Carolyn will talk about her journey on today's podcast and the fact that she is in a good place today, a place good enough that she can honestly say that she truly loves life.
