I am a native of Idaho and grew up a farmer's daughter in a tiny rural town (would you believe there were only 17 people in my high school graduating class?). I have worked in the legal field for 30 years, and have three amazing sons, two fabulous daughters-in-law, and three grand-furbabies.

Six-years ago...

6-years ago today, I began what would be a three-year trek to save my life. I had just received a diagnosis of an incurable lymphoma.

For the first year, it began commuting 1,800 each way, several times a month for a clinical trial, and ended up with me inpatient locally for chemo, followed by two years of maintenance infusions. By my own choice, I then ‘divorced ‘ my on

Lynda Wolters, Voices of Cancer: What We Really Want, What We Really Need

“When you get sick you will be surprised by who steps up and who steps away. I can honestly say I did not think this would apply to me. I could not imagine that anyone in my family or circle of friends would not be there for me. Wrong!”
Lynda Wolters, Voices of Cancer: What We Really Want, What We Really Need

“It is exhausting explaining over and over again that yes, I am doing great and I feel fantastic, but I still cannot do the things I once did. My new normal with Cancer Related Fatigue.”

Bob Marley Quote
