January 2000 . . . . Jane Richins was diagnosed with breast cancer.

Things can work out for the best.

There was no history of breast cancer in her family.  Life was going along swimmingly. She had a loving husband and 2 wonderful children. Then Jane learned that she had breast cancer.  Following a biopsy on what she thought was a benign cyst, Jane received a call from the radiology department, instructing her to come back in for a follow up regarding her biopsy report.  When she arrived at the hospital she was brought into a conference room which looked as though it doubled for a laundry room. A radiologist, who was unknown to her, entered the room along with an assistant. The radiologist curtly announced that Jane had breast cancer. Read Jane's entire story...
