Breast cancer is a top killer.

But survival is possible.

In 2004, a group of 26 cancer survivors from South Texas shared their stories to inspire hope, comfort, and resiliency in a bilingual booklet called Nuestras Historias: Mujeres Hispanas Sobreviviendo el Cáncer del Seno (Our Stories: Women Surviving Breast Cancer).

2014 marked the booklet’s 10th anniversary.

Today, 16 of the remaining survivors have new, courageous stories to tell about the importance of cancer screening and that women can not only survive cancer, but thrive in the workplace, school, home, and family.
