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.
