I've shared this info by private email with a few people on the IAP thus far, but hadn't shared it publicly until now, but back on December 29th, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. At the age of only 41, this came as quite a shock. I had surgery to remove the tumor on January 19th and now am going to be preparing for six weeks of five times a week radiation treatments. I am hopeful that I will at least be able to forgo chemotherapy, but I won't know that for sure until next week. Anyway, because of this, obviously the breast cancer pens developed some very personal significance to me. A very dear person provided me with a kit and I was able to finish the pen tonight. I haven't decided if I'm going to make it a daily use pen or if it'll be one that I'll put in my pen display case. This was perhaps one of the most meaningful pens I've ever made and so I wanted to share it with my friends here at the IAP.
