Peer Support Partner – Elizabeth

 

Age at diagnosis?

I was first diagnosed about a year ago at the age of 49.

Why I chose to be a Peer Support Partner

 When I was first diagnosed about a year ago at the age of 49, I was afraid and felt alone and wished that I had someone to really talk to that understood all that I was feeling and experiencing. I hope I can be that listening ear and support to someone else through the Peer Support program..

A little about me

 I have learned to embrace my disease but live a full life by pacing myself and learning what I need. I am a fine arts painter, and a mother of two grown children who are not yet married.
