A personal account created by a participant in the ACMI Digital Storytelling Workshop “Journeys with Breast Cancer” Created in association with Breast Cancer Network Australia. “I said to the doctor, I don’t care if I die tomorrow but I don’t want to leave my daughter alone. He said to me that first I had to live before I could have another child.”
