SURVIVING CANCER

  RESOURCES FROM WHEELCHAIR USERS WHO ARE                    CURRENTLY BATTLING OR HAVE BEATEN CANCER

In November 2011, Meg Paulsen had just begun dating the man who would become her husband when he discovered a lump in her breast. 

She had no family history of cancer and had her annual mammogram in May.

Fortunately, the cancer was “the slowest growing, least aggressive type.” 

Still, Paulsen, who was born with spina bifida, had four lumpectomies on one side, and one on the other.

 “My oncologist said, we’re probably going to be doing these continually because it seems like your tissue is creating precancerous stuff,” says Paulsen, now 56.
