Paragraph writing strategies


This is a really bare bones outline based on the readings from WS pages 17-22. My paper was mostly complete by the time I was addressing this blog post assignment.





Introduction: In life, there are times we face certain situations or challenges that cause us to pause and examine the course of our lives, giving us the opportunity to live our lives differently and hopefully for the better. 

Being Diagnosed
Exam
Ultrasound
Biopsy
Follow-up

It felt like someone had put all of my life in a brown paper bag, shook it up, dumped it out and said, "ok now put it back together".
Cancer
Divorce
Remodel

Treatment Decisions
stage 1 invasive ductal carcinoma with no cancer in my lymph nodes, ER and PR positive
surgery
radiation alone; no chemo
tamoxifen

Radiation Treatment
Depressing
Needed to make treatment bearable
Brought the party

Life Beyond Cancer
Being intentional
The Bucket list

Conclusion: Cancer for me became an opportunity to live.
