Bio

I am currently living in Basel Switzerland with my husband and two teenagers. My husband’s job was moved and in order to have the guarantee of healthcare coverage we had to accept the move. It has been a very trying year with my recurrence showing up three weeks after arriving in Switzerland and my lung tumors showing up 5 weeks after my husband’ severe motorcycle accident. We are marching forward though and finding the joy and peace in our daily living.
