this week
Ruth Peltason is a survivor. After undergoing treatment for breast cancer a second time, she wanted to find a way to combat the isolation someone in treatment can feel. First, she created an on-line forum called “First Person Plural”, where hundreds of women from every state and across the world shared their personal breast cancer stories.
