I decided to hold a jounal on my journey through cancer. I need to do it for myself (to exorcise the pain) and for the other women who are going through the same calvary, or for those who will in the future. I also write for those who must become aware of the dangers we face in our postmodernera. I feel I have been made to pay the price for modern civilization. Someone has to pay the price for all the pollutantsand chemicals that are thrown into the atmosphere, which affect us through the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the sun our skin receives, the contaminants dumped into the rivers and seas, the pesticides sprayed on the fruits and vegetables, and the hormones fed to animals.
