In Jinni's own words
"I never got sick."
With those simple, evocative four words, Jinni Hoggard begins her column for the newspaper about her battle with breast cancer. I can't imagine what going public in this way means to her, although her husband, David, explains it here. To us it means that she can help readers understand more about this deadly disease. Jinni tells her story in a true, heartfelt voice. I only wish I could write as well. (Obviously, we're not the only media with it. David blogs it here.)
Jinni's column runs in the paper on Monday. I'm writing about it now because it's so powerful that I want everyone to know about it. (It will be posted Monday.) I look forward to the column in which she declares victory and is cancer free.
