Cancer Warriors Wednesday – Is My Cancer Different?

It's time to expand Army of Women Wednesday to include other people and organizations of interest to cancer survivors. What drew me to the Army of Women was its use of the internet to bring about positive change.

Army of Women Wednesday: Warrior Healing after Treatment

Love these videos!  It’s Army of Women Wednesday and time to direct your attention to another study in need of participants.  This study is a bit different because its focus is on healing after treatment, rather than on prevention.  I was drawn to it because I know how much my yoga practice meant to my [...]
