Many thanks to Ronnie Laughlin, breast cancer survivor and author of “An Atypical Journey: Facing Breast Cancer Alone in the Middle East with God and My Tribe.” She also wrote the companion guide, “My Appointment Notebook,” to help people navigate the health care system when challenged with a breast cancer diagnosis.
During our 30-minute conversation, we discussed how Ronnie handled the diagnosis of breast cancer, which she received while living alone in Saudi Arabia in the midst of the COVID-19 lockdown. She toughed it out during her chemotherapy, employing the determination and resilience that made her a Division 1 basketball player years ago.
Her competitive nature and resolve were buttressed by strong Catholic Faith. Ronnie believes that her life experiences prior to her breast cancer diagnosis were God’s “perfect preparation” that endowed her with the necessary skills to successfully navigate her illness.
Ronnie explained that she wrote her books to help other people with breast cancer better understand how it affects their bodies and provide strategies to succeed with treatment.
Ronnie’s advice to those affected by breast cancer or other life threatening illness? “Keep moving forward and keep a positive attitude.”
You can find Ronnie Laughlin’s books on Amazon.
