My name is Jeannette Gregory I was diagnosed with bilateral breast cancer 9-9-08. My brother died from liver cancer 7 months before I was diagnosed and my sister died from breast cancer 1 day after I started chemotherapy treatments.It was not the cancer that affected me the most but the grief of losing (2) siblings.
I only had (2) options, live or die and I chose to live. In honor of my siblings lives I founded a non profit organization, Celebrate Life08. I continue to encourage, empower and educate women to fight to live as well as respect their bodies and take good care of themselves.
I had a bilateral mastectomy and did not choose any type of reconstruction. I thank God for the peace and healing he gave me through this battle. my life is consumed with sharing the same peace and healing with people all over the world. i have written several inspirational books for women and children to help them cope with this disease.
I promote breast cancer awareness, spiritual awareness and healthy eating. This journey has taught me so much about life and death. I have a zeal for life and helping others to fulfill their destiny. I would not trade my life for anything in this world.
when I ask myself, "Can I touch every woman with breast cancer or bring awareness to others? My answer is always, YES!
