Laura - on founding Secondary Sisters

In this episode of the Breast Cancer Now podcast, Laura talks about founding the online support group Secondary Sisters.

You might not see the light at the end of the tunnel. But there will be cracks in the outside and those cracks let in a little bit of light. Then those cracks might turn into holes and those holes will let in more light. Eventually those light moments will overshadow the dark. And you have to just grasp onto those moments.

- Laura
