		<description><![CDATA[by Femma Norton My first brush with cancer patient advocacy was 42 years ago, long before the advent of computer and internet literacy with its wealth of information.

We were married for a mere thirteen months but had dreamed about this day for our entire lives. She was perfect and healthy. We couldn’t ask for anything more. What we didn’t know at the time, however, was that I was sick. While taking a shower [...]]]></description>
