Though not an easy or enjoyable experience, when Barbara Selden talks about her journey with breast cancer she uses the words blessed, gift, gratitude, and joy. With a long history of breast cancer in her family, Seldon received the fateful phone call informing her of her diagnosis while at work in February 2012. Her type of stage 2 breast cancer was fueled by estrogen, so in addition to a mastectomy, she also had a hysterectomy. 

Selden credits the support of her husband, daughters, family, friends, and co-workers who helped her get through the hardest parts. Following her surgeries, Selden just wanted to get back to work, she recalls "I felt like being here at work with my friends was very healing for me and helped me move forward."
