Digital download of the complete issue:
FIVE YEARS & COUNTING, Feb / March 2023, Vol 8, No 1, 95 pages
For the first time ever, we’ve devoted an entire issue to showcasing the stories of people diagnosed five, ten, and twenty years ago! These are the stories that will inspire! This issue features deeply personal lessons learned about living life that extends well beyond cancer, from all different stages of diagnosis (from early stage and DCIS to Stage IV).
“Let this issue about survivorship bring you both smiles and tears. And when you turn the last page, I hope you feel not only more hopeful than when you first opened the cover, but that you also know you are loved, supported, and never walking this path alone.” - Roberta Lombardi, Founder and President of Infinite Strength, Inc. - our guest editor & cover star!
