As a way of expressing our gratitude, we are offering this collection of stories to you for absolutely free! Our book was so full it could not contain all the stories that were submitted. In fact, we had to eliminate the entire section of stories written by our caregivers. These are very touching stories and we knew you would be blessed to read them. This page will contain additional stories of hope that you will not find in the book. Feel free to download the stories and add them to your journal. You can select stories by title, category, or scroll through and read all the stories as a collection. All authors have given permission to publish their stories in The Breast Cancer Journey, or have asked to remain anonymous. Please leave a comment…or two, and let us know how these stories have impacted you in your journey. 
These stories may also be found at the very beginning of The Nitty Gritty, Gritty Blog…
